Good News 6

Chicago SummerDance is back (well, it's been back since earlier this month). Free dance lessons and then free music to dance to! And tonight is:

Tükrös Hungarian Folk Ensemble

Szatmari Dances from Hungary--dance lessons by Ignac Kadar & Barbara Baranyai and live music by the Tükrös Hungarian Folk Ensemble, performing authentic Hungarian village music.


I wasn't able to stay for the dancing tonight, but the band was rehearsing when I was walking between buildings on campus. And for a moment there was no wind and weirdly no traffic on Michigan Avenue. Everything was still and strains of Hungarian folk music--haunting cello and violin--echoed off the building facades at Harrison and Michigan. A really nice way to end the day.

And if you don't live in Chicago, I bet your town does something similar. Go to dance. Go to listen and watch. Go to find good news.
