Sad news for the dance community from Manuel Dorantes
开云体育I received the following from one of the Valley’s favorite musicians, Manuel Dorantes: ? “I wish I would have good news, but, as everybody knows about this COVIG19 situation, I have not work since March at any dances, and also my other work for Yamaha, the same, since I had to visit music stores to check inventory, needless to say, when the stores are close, no job for me too. ? I hope everybody can understand the following, I have no choice but to get back to my hometown in México, as long a little of my savings, the stimulus and the soon to end unemployment benefits run out July 31st, I can not stay since I would not have any income to pay rent, services, food, insurance, etc..... ? And to make things worse, me with a hearth condition, the last thing I need is the stress to see how I can survive. ? Anyway, I am also very grateful for the work you have provided me with for all this years, and truly I appreciate it very much. So, needless to say, please cancel all the pending dances, I think is going to take a long time to get back to those Ballroom dances.....perhaps when a vaccine is available and probed that works. ? I wish was a better way to say bye, please thank everyone. I will leave just before the end of September, Now I will go in July for a few weeks to find where I am going to move into, get some paper work, etc....and as soon I get back to Phoenix, will be just to pack up and get ready to go back with my instruments, and stuff. ? I will go back to my hometown Querétaro, Querétaro (City and capital state). San Miguel de Allende is a HUB for Americans and Canadian citizens, they populate this town at least is the 65/70% and to get there, now you must fly to? Querétaro, since is only a 45 minute drive to San Miguel, before, you had to fly to Leon Guanajuato, but took over 2 hours to get to San Miguel. ? I will have the same emails. since México has different Cel Networks, my cel will be different. I will keep you post it ? Kind Regards Manuel Dorantes” ? Manuel will definitely be missed and we wish him the best for the future. ? |
