Tomorrow I will take the day off and run over to the University Of Guam (UOG). It takes a little while to figure out what is being said when you hear someone mention that place. UOG is pronounced as one word (yoo-OH-gee).

Anyway, I am headed for the MARC (Micronesian Area Research Center). My hope is to meet either Dr. Salas or Dr. Diaz or, if I get really lucky, both of them. They are sisters and their specialty is Chamorro chants and song. One of them is also a music teacher. Failing that I intend to leaf through the collection in search of any recordings of the music of the Chamorros. I have high hopes.

Thanks for letting me know that people are reading this. I had hoped I wasn't whistling in the wind. I enjoy sharing my adventure but I didn't want to be talking to an empty room.

Barbara, it's good to know you are settling into your new place. I had hoped to be visiting you this week but, as you know, the class was disapproved.
