Memories
I feel fortunate growing up because I was surrounded by music and dance, two things as dear to me as the air we breathe. Classical piano took the lead for eight years, followed by violin, flute, drums, voice, and guitar (still TRYING (operative word is TRYING!) to rip it up on the GEE-TAR!). Music is like a drug and to accompany music was dance. It's been a while since I performed religiously with a company but I still have beautiful memories from my performance years.
This past weekend, some of those dancing memories came flooding back as I photographed Barangay. I'm proud to say my brother is the director of this company. Barangay (BAH-RUNG-GUY) is a Filipino folk dance company based in San Francisco. They've been performing for 20 years.
My bro is on my list of top ten fabulous men because of what he gives back to the community. He's extremely generous, lovable, and laughs incessantly. And from my perspective, an absolutely AWESOME sibling. Thanks Bon for sharing what you know.
