Episode in which I play guitar in public: To hum with you, to hum with my audience.
<p>In which I hum with you, and hum with my audience. <br/><br/>They say good things happen when you are aligned. Mind, body, spirit, work, play. Discipline. Practices. Aligned. I've been watching The Last Dragon with my son. An essential part of the hip hop cinema canon, and so fucking good. Peace, he says, be my sanctuary. Oh, just a beautiful film. One of the things I like most about it, is how weird the heroine is, how gorgeous and totally strange and searing and true she when she sings. Sexiness has so many layers. Untold and dimensions too. </p><p>youtube: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9WJtmzg1aVZs9nrjS1O5BA'>@</a>laypod<br/>ig: @dr.roopabalasingh<br/>email: r@roopabalasingh.com</p>

Ep 10: Hum
<p>Hum, a poem by Mary Oliver. A place to stay in riyaaz, the hum. Hum, a way of bridging the gap between comfort in public speaking and discomfort in singing. Hum, a method of filling the body with sound. </p><p>youtube: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9WJtmzg1aVZs9nrjS1O5BA'>@</a>laypod<br/>ig: @dr.roopabalasingh<br/>email: r@roopabalasingh.com</p>
