All the Great Houses had wonderful names like that. However, I coincidentally left to relocate stateside one week after hurricanes Frederick and David had devastated the island. I lived there for about 5 years and continued to teach children and adults while doing some sailing, traveling, and horseback riding. My cat Friday died in San Diego, but Guavaberry, a Chocolate Siamese whose ancestors came from the pirate ships of the Caribbean, moved back east with me around 1980. It took me ten years to get around to publishing my book.
Timing is everything.
People were finally interested in World Music and Cultural Diversity, I named my company after Guavaberry who finally passed on when she was seventeen. Since then I have raised two very large dogs. A 7-year old yellow Labrador named Ruby Magnolia, known as Maggie, and a three year old white German Shepherd named Molly Lama. I believe I was the first person in the United States to have graduated with Orff Schulwerk Certification having been taught this technique as a child. I received my training in Orff Schulwerk from the Royal Conservatory of Music, University of Toronto in 1970 and 1971 when I was 17 and 18 years old with Doreen Hall who herself studied with Carl Orff.
