donde estas matador...

And apropos the music of my last post, I was suddenly reminded of my second memory of buddhagrrl (the first, of course being the time we met on the way to Manray). I had gone to Manray either by myself or with lordbleys (we went there together a lot back during that time of my life) and I was in the cage room, getting a drink and just people watching while waiting for something better to come on in the front room. Teardrop was playing and the crowd on the floor and stage was just a mass of sinuously writhing folk. I distinctly recall two people moving away from eachother on the stage, like a curtain being parted, and being afforded a view of buddhagrrl coming up for this very low bend at the waist maneuver. The whole moment just struck me as really cool, since for all the world, it looked as if the three of them had choreographed the whole thing.

Whenever I've been forced to explain the concept of 'art by accident', that moment always springs to mind as a perfect example. Here were three people, clearly not working together, who managed to craft a beautiful moment just by being in the right place at the right time and moving in the right way.

Anyway, that was today's Moment of Zen, as it were.
