I have some exciting news for you all. Many of you know that I have made my living for the last several years doing music. It is one of my biggest passions. I love to listen, I love to produce, I love to sing and write, but this month I have realized a new passion. Dance!
Ok in all seriousness, I didn’t really realize a passion for dance, but I have danced like a crazy women all month. One of our contacts Charles is a gospel artist here in Lira. He is apparently a pretty big deal around here. We can’t go anywhere without hearing his songs or without people coming up and greeting him. I feel like I am traveling with a celebrity.
The first weekend we were here we went out on to a small village and did an open air crusade. They brought a big sound system and set up on the side of the road. Charles began to “sing”, they do more of a mily vanily type performance here, and all of the sudden there was a crowd of a few hundred. Charles has a “choir”, we would call them back up dancers, that go with him everywhere. They asked us to join the choir for one song and they were hooked. They loved us. I can’t tell if it is because we were so bad or so good.
So about a week ago we were getting ready to have dinner and we were watching some music videos on TV and one of Charles videos came up. It was kinda funny. Very 80s 90s style camera work. We joked with Charles about 
wanting to be in one of his video
wanting to be in one of his video So as of yesterday at around 8:30 I became a music video back up dancer. Yes you read that right. Charity, Luann, Jed, John and I will now be shown on TV’s all over Lango province in Uganda doing our best to keep up with
the real dancers.
It was a good time and makes for a great story, so watch out J-LO. Here come some real music video dancing stars!
