I’ll be dancing with my Habibi Dancer friend April tonight, at New Aladdin’s Restaurant in Frandor/Lansing. Shows are at 6:30 and 7:30, lasting about a half hour.

For local folks, consider a visit. There is no cover. The food is good (incredible soups and other mideastern treats), plus they have smoothies and fresh squeezed juices, and the best rice pudding I ever had. The people who own it and who work there are just great folks.

Please consider starting your holiday weekend with great food and a bit of entertainment. It should be a fine time.

These photos were taken the last time April and I danced together at Aladdin’s. It was October, 2007. I’m ready for a repeat!

Last Sunday we participated in a jam session held at VanAtta’s Greenhouse in Haslett. Musicians from all over the state were there, and the quality was just incredible as was the variety.

We did a round robin, going around the circle taking turns. For the last two hours, LCC radio WLNZ was there, with a live broadcast. It was a lot of fun.

(Never mind that there was gorgeous home-cooked food for the musicians. Definitely red carpet.)

Thank you to Barb Barton for inviting us to come, VanAtta’s for hosting the event, and Lyn Peraino of WLNZ. We had a great time.
