| 9 | Night of the Gypsies II: Tamburitza Roma and Balkan Cabaret. | 8pm HotHouse, 31 E Balbo Dr (between State & Wabash) in downtown Chicago. When you see Balkan Cabaret once, you will remember them forever. The music they play takes you on a promenade around the Balkans. Listening to them at one point you find yourself at a merry village "vecherinka" where the young once sang, danced and secretly exchanged loving glances. In the following moment you are seated in the second gallery of a big hall where you are being taken by sound woven of emotions and feelings sung by a heart full of warmth -Dragi Spasovski, Recording artist, Radio Skopje. |

| 29 | Passing of Herman Johnson |
Herman Fritjof Johnson, 98, a long-time Chicago Area folk dancer and leader passed away on the morning of December 12, 2004. Per Herman's wife, Helen Pomerance Johnson, there will be no services. I will always remember Herman's
enthusiasm, kindness and willingness to help. Herman was instrumental
in helping me get started as leader, teacher and organizer in the International
Folk Dance Community. At he University of Chicago back in 1967, Herman
provided me with immeasurable logistical support, encouragement and
wisdom and shared many of his life stories with me as we ran the summer
folk dance group that met in the parking lot behind Ida Noyes Hall.
If anyone would like to contribute pictures, stories, etc. about Herman F. Johnson, I will setup a webpage memorial for him on the www.ethnicDance.Net website. Somewhere, I believe that I have a film that Charlie and Steve Fawkes gave me that has Herman dancing Austrian Dreysteyrer with Pat Dixon and possibly Beth Fawkes. I will try to get that transferred to a digital format and put it in the website. Sincerely, EDC will be hold a Birthday Memorial Spring Fling to Herman Johnson at the Friday, April 15th dance at the Latvian Center. pcollins@ethnicdance.net - (773)-463-2288 You may contact Helen Pomerance Johnson at: helen.johnson5532@sbcglobal.net, (773)-752-5267 |
