If you like to listen to world music, and are looking for a way to fritter away some time, check out this website that was referenced in Dave Barry's Blog, of all places, that lets you listen to radio stations streaming from countries around the world: https://radio.garden/search
Some of them have nice ethnic music to listen to (or dance to), and of course the ones with spoken words could be good if you're working on comprehension of another language... You can search for a country, or a keyword like "folk" .
We will NOT be meeting Friday, Jan 31, 2025.
Instead, you can get your Friday dose of Zoom folk dancing from the Stockton Winter Weekend. According to the Stockton WW schedule, the events scheduled during the time we normally would be meeting are Dance Class - Lee Otterholt - Class 1 of 2 and Music - Live Music with Orkestar Unbound - 2 of 6.
We'll be meeting as usual this Friday Jan 24, and again starting in February.
