And so it goes!

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

As the late Gilda Radner always said, in her incarnation as Rosanne Rosannadanna, it’s always something!  I just got word that the British Columbia Ministry of Culture won’t fund the United States American Indian performing artists that I had proposed for participation in the Vancouver Olympiad in February – the Chinle Valley Singers (http://bronitskyandassociates.com/chinle.htm), the Plateros (the hottest band in the Navajo Nation) and the Cherokee Nation Youth Choir.  Sigh!

But on the same day, the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Washington notified me that they will fund my proposal for the domestic travel of Sami rights pioneer Magne Ove Varsi for his tour in April.  And so it goes!
