Hey everyone. I’m trying something new today and have picked up a guest-blogging gig with an old pal. I know Laura from the days when we danced to the African Jazz Pioneers at a Shebeen in the suburbs of Johannesburg while South Africa moved toward its first democratic elections. Who knew eighteen years later we’d be blogging authors still intrigued with the whole idea of connecting cultures. Kinda fun. Laura’s the author of a really cool book called Tro-Tros and Potholes that chronicles her solo adventures through West Africa. She’s now working on a second book, a very touching memoir about being raised by a schizophrenic mother.
It’s a pleasure to invite you to read my post about travels to Myanmar http://laurazera.com/?p=928
Aahh, the African Jazz Pioneers. Might just have to dig them out for a listen today, bring back some of the good memories. So glad to have you on my blog, and thanks again for sharing your story.
It’s been an awesome experience Laura. Thanks for the help providing a platform for me as I pull those memories up to this moment. Can’t get that alto sax out of my head now…
