Friday Morning Sangha

 

Dear Friday Morning Sangha,

I want to apologize to those who tried to logon this morning to the Friday morning sangha. I laid down after getting home from a huge meal and neglected to set my alarm; I awoke just a few minutes ago. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving and will see you online next week.

If you like your soul music infused with the spirt of Bodhidharma and Guanyin, come on down to the Roxy on South Broadway Saturday evening for a funky good time. Yours truly will be holding down the bass end. No cover. Would love to see you there!

Thanks!
