Subject: RE: Visit to Indonesia 18-19 Dec 04
I am so excited to have the opprotunity to visit the far off land of Indonesia. Not only will I be able to meet new friends in the music world but we will be able to share the universial language of music together. I have traveled all over the world and often feel that we have nothing in common, but when music begin’s to play I suddenly discover that we are all intertwinded with the same love of music.
The opprotunity to watch and teach with music educators from other cultureis is a once in a life time chance. I will be looking forward to hear and watching your groups.
Musically yours
Steve Bentley
