Apologies if some of you have already received this information.
Please check out the new web site of Veronza Bowers, Jr.
http://www.geocities.com/veronzab
You may recall that Veronza is the author of "Healing Meditation with
Shakuhachi" which appeared in the Kyoto Journal a few years back. He is a
former member of the Black Panther Party who has been imprisoned for nearly
30 years. During that time Veronza has made remarkable progress learning
and composing music for shakuhachi as well as conducting meditation
sessions using shakuhachi in a number of federal penitentiaries in which he
has been incarcerated. He is presently collaborating on a book with Bette
Alexander (a student of Ralph Samuelson) entitled Shakuhachi and the Human
Spirit. A few of his friends in the world shakuhachi community have joined
together in a renewed effort to help in his efforts to gain parole. Please
take the time to look over this site and learn more about Veronza's life
and work with shakuhachi.
All the best.
