Well, the changes may not be caused by the month of April; but a lot is happening.

As I’d mentioned in my newsletters, I’m the musical director for the Kandake Dance Company’s production of “1001 Nights: Love Stories form Death Row.” We’re in the home strech, and rehearsals are coming along well. Our first performance is on Wednesday, May 6th, 2015 at Dixon Place (161a Chrystie st. NYC). Door at 7. $12-15. http://www.thekandake.com/

On Friday, April 17th, I will offer music for a yoga class taught by Jessica Stickler, at the Jivamukti Yoga Center ( 841 Broadway, 2nd floor, NYC). Class starts at 6:45pm.

On Saturday, April 18th, I will be the featured artist / performer at the Artist Ashram, hosted by the Bhakti Center (25 1st Avenue 2nd Floor. NYC) $10 at the door. This will be a unique multidisciplinary performance that will offer the opportunity for audience participation (http://www.artistashram.com/).

I spoke to Joshua Seraphim (publisher / founder of Leilah Publications). He informed me that the 2nd edition of A Quantum Hijra, and my new collection of short stories, A Mansion with Many Rooms, is scheduled for release in September (leilahpublications.com/sufi).

Speaking of September,,,,

On September 2nd, 2015 Openings Collective will present an art exhibit titled “On the Inner and Outer Self” at Church of St. Paul the Apostle (405 West 59th Street, at Columbus Avenue, NYC). I have the honor of being one of the featured artists! More info to come. (http://www.godsunrulyfriends.com/about/the-art/)

As for God’s Unruly Friends, we’re in “fall back and regroup” mode. We’re planning concerts (I’ve had some very encouraging negotiations with a number of venues), and a recording. All is progressing nicely.

One more thing: I had this idea/ fantasy of doing a series of concerts of what I call the Sacred Forbidden Music. These performances will be by invitation only. I will know by September; and keep you informed (who know? Maybe you will get an invitation!)

That’s it for now. Let’s ride the crest of April, and see how this wave crashes into May!
