From Dorothy: The Music Is Growing So Fast!
 We met Simone Soul today. Strong, gorgeous woman, about my height. Dreads and tattoo. Smart, resourceful, vibrant artist building her own career in Brazil - massively excited about this collaboration. She just completed a huge concert she produced herself in Sao Paolo involving 25 artists, and flew here via the UK, where she performed with her trio in London, Brighton, Leister and Birmingham. She did not bring a satchel full of compositions for us to share, but rather a stunning array of beautiful instruments and the most generous attitude about working with all the music we devise together. When she plays, she/s awe-inspiring. The music is growing so fast!! And there are 2 more collaborators coming on Sunday! Thank goodness a recording session has also been built into the schedule by the festival - the sound will be a-b-s-o-l- u-t-e-l-y indescribable. The combination of lengthy rehearsal time with multiple performances is perfect. The sound and the relationships will be well developed. Our ambition of creating a central, virtual ETHEL's TruckStop™ home is a timely one - a place to keep up the conversations, to share experiences and contacts, to bring artists and presenters together, to spread the news and facilitate the reach of music, ideas and resources. Many of our activities have parallels in these other worlds. Immersing ourselves in each others' communities allows us to identify common issues and goals much more clearly. We can be so helpful to each other!! This and our desire to create a recording/licensing library of these works may be among our most important and wonderful contributions. xo, Dorothy P.S.
