Given to my wife by CTA upon her retirement from teaching high school (...God Bless her) over 40 years. I would have lasted maybe a week. Submittal for the Macro Monday's 3/29/21 theme of "Award"
”There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
‘I feel this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong.’
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What’s right for you–just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.” ~Shel Silverstein

Studies In The Art Of The Slack Key
by Bill Adams
The Waimea Music Exchange store at Parker Center was filled with the beautiful sounds of Hawaiian music this past Saturday morning as a group of students from Cornell University participated in a slack key guitar lesson taught by the Big Island's own Don Kauli'a, whose album "Sweet Wahine" was nominated for a 2008 Grammy Award.
The students are enrolled in Cornell's Earth and Environmental Systems (EES) Field Program. A 5-month course which spans the entire spring semester, students engage in field, class and laboratory studies focused on the various ecosystems of our Hawaiian island chain and of Hawaii's history and culture.
Led by Professor Dr. Alexandra Moore, the EES Field Program is based out of Waimea and hosted by the Hawaii Preparatory Academy. The students' living quarters is the 8-bedroom Waiaka House near the main campus of HPA.
Dr. Moore explained, "The students are immersed in studies geared towards "Kumu Pa'a I Ka 'Aina, which translates to 'Knowledge and understanding that comes from the land.'"
The stated mission of the EES Field Program is "To inspire stewardship of the Earth through first-hand experience with the power, and fragility, of Earth's interconnected systems."
Upon completion of the EES Field Program, students will achieve 18 credit hours from courses such as; Field Study of the Earth System, Biogeochemistry of the Hawaiian Islands, Field Study of Marine Ecosystems, Internship Experience, and an Introduction to Hawaiian History and Culture, which included Saturday's slack key guitar lesson.
The Program stresses the importance of respecting the Hawaiian ancestral lands and to give something back to the community by engaging in a variety of service learning (in class) projects and local volunteer opportunities. Students are also encouraged to explore ways in which they can contribute to the well-being of their adopted community.
Before Saturday's lesson began, the students were able to briefly meet and chat with another famous Big Island slack key guitar master, Sonny Lim, a 2007 Grammy Award winner for his work on the album, "Slack Key Guitar Volume 2".
Participating in Saturday's guitar lessons were a diverse group of five Cornell University students; Hannah Kubica, a junior from Little Falls, New York, Keisuke Irie, a senior from Bergen County, New Jersey, Matt Connelly, a sophomore from Syracuse, New York, Kourtney Reynolds, a senior from San Diego, California and Tyler Huth, a sophomore from Boston, Massachusetts.

According to Womans Weekly, wearing casual colours and styles such as these would make my ideal profession a dance teacher !!!
Now !!! ....... Can you really see ME in a dance leotard or tutu ??
A friend's mum is retiring from being a school teacher and she asked me to make a cake to celebrate.

He has taught, no, he has 'educated' many generations of children trying to inculcate into them the virtues of rationality, knowledge and ethical behaviour. Even in retirement he can't stop himself educating by writing letters to the editor of a newspaper or addressing the authorities when he feels that the virtues are in danger. Once a teacher always a teacher.
I am actually half way trough a turn in this photo even if I do look a little static.
Its been a good week for my ego boosting and it all seems to stem from last Sunday at dance class. The normal format is we do an hour long basic lesson to teach the new started the basics, we partner up and ten the ladies rotate around so as they can damce with a different leader. I happened to have one new starter end up with me so i did what i normally do and took it slow, she then moved on to the next partner along. we then have a break this is when we can dance with our own partners or whoever we fancy dragging ontot the dancefloor. well i had a couple dances with jamie then had a rest. it was then that the new lady came over to me and said i was the best leader to dance with. well that made me smile, the next part of the lesson is more for those who know what we are doing but the two new girls stayed. seeing that they had no chance i took them to one side and gave them a one to one lesson.well the evening finished with me having a few spins on the dance floor and we all went home.
during wednesdays lessen sharon the teacher said how much the two ladies enjoyed my lesson :-) then shortly after another woman who is a friend of the two girls came over to say that they keep raving on about how much they enjoyed my lesson and loved me to bits.
OK i know this all sound a bit "Look how wonderful i am" but in all truth its rather weired because i never set out for this to turnout this way and to become so accepted by almost everyone i meet . So yep i am walking around with the biggest head ever at the moment and i am so proud of the people around me who accept our kind and the people within our community who have supported, encouraged and inspired me over the years to becomem who i am
More good follows shortly
