This weeks topic comes from the fertile mind of Lin - methinks this is her musical equivalent of a fractal equation from her mathematician better half. How did she even know a buffalo petite such as I had a dancing school diploma? Alas - when the knees go so does the dancing and my knees are long gone. Diploma expired. Condemned to sitting and watching. Aided by a few adult beverages. Another of those life changing events.

New Zealand sport teams perform hakas prior to international matches - check out the American pro basketball player responses in this one.
My dancing career lasted about three years and ended about the time I quit playing football in college. Lynn was not thrilled about the coed dressing rooms and stuff like that.The friend that got me involved is now a well respected Kumu with a professional dance troupe he He's been one of my best friends since sixth grade. And there are NO existing photos of me in a grass skirt Ramana so don't ask.
No, Shackman, I shan't ask. The NZ Haka dance has a very deep philosophical background to it and every school child there learns the dance and hopes to play for NZ so that they can perform the Haka!
