Now it’s Fall and after doing new writing in French for a couple publications, I’m enjoying time again in the Southwest. My focus this time is guiding tours with Mesa Prieta Petroglyph Project. Do go to their site to see and enjoy the wonderful work they do. mesaprietapetroglyphs.org 

Voices, music, images, depth of rhythm and feeling all came together in Quebec! We loved doing the trilingual show PHARE-OUEST for our warm and enthusiastic public who have asked, and still ask, for more. Many people said they discovered a West they didn’t know existed. We’ll be happy to do the show again in 2016. Yes, still in English, French and Spanish with a little Innu. Feel free to invite us!

PHARE–OUEST a new show! Some true West for Quebec City. We’ll be going beyond stereotypes to share the deeper West we each know. Join us if you can!: Tuesday, March 31st at Studio P, 280 rue St. Joseph. Spoken Word artists Rae Marie Taylor and Jean Désy will offer an evening of beauty, emotion and humor around the theme of the American West, Rae’s original home and Jean’s recent passion. Frederic Dufour’s guitars and images by videographer Isabelle Duval will accompany the duo.
Bilingual (French and English)

The National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko Nevada, in its 31st year, was fabulous. Great music, great poetry and the gladness of being among ranchers and cowboys again! Listen to them on their site. www.westernfolklife.org

January 6th. For my creative and homing spirit, I celebrated the New Year at the Jemez Buffalo Dance where the joyful hospitality of my friends nourished body and soul, as did all the family who took time for me for along the way.
