Joia

2012-04-22 Earth Day 17

Joia is the free-form percussion band nonpareil. We saw a bit of them on Sunday They lead the parade at every Earth Day and every Cinco de Mayo - People's Joy Parade. (I was invited to shoot this year's edition but I'll be in New York. Damn.) Click the link to their web site and you can hear some of their amazing stuff.

Got home from work really late last night. I think there's an Arch pic somewhere for tomorrow. More comments when life takes off the thumbscrews. But there are things to look forward to: a conference in Philadelphia next week and then a weekend in my home town.

  2. Looking forward to a trip, as you are, is a good way to get through the crush of work.

    Ho ho. Rick Kramer, the drummer in the black shirt and leader of the gang, has gotten a little plumper and greyer since I last talked to him at an Artica appearance a while back (' was trying to discover where to find a qweenka for my daughter's birthday -- Rick sent me to one).

    Looking forward to your shots from RenFaire this year. Word has it the Fae are feeling revitalized, tho' Durrah, who's been featured in several past pictures, will probably be STRANDED in Naples this season. Cobweb will still be back, however!

  6. That's a mighty big drum for a wee lady Bob, but she looks like she's giving it stick haha!

  7. Yes I can't believe this petite lady can hold the biggest drum of all but she seems to be coping really well. Go band!
