How do you envision yourself aging as an artist?  My guest today never imagined she’d be dancing and performing and teaching into her 70’s and yet she is! This fall we’ll skirt the edges of the spirit world as we talk with guests who channel the dead to write movies and allow their ancestors to play piano with them - starting with this guest, flamenco dancer, writer, avid spiritual practitioner, Marianna Mejia. 

This episode included music from:

• Guitar playing by Frederico Mejia recorded by Dave Borson on a reel to reel at the Cabal in Berkeley 1968 or 1963.
• ​Carcelero: Freddie Mejia playing Harp on a CD with Luis Agujetas singing and Gary Hayes (Geraldo de Alcala) playing guitar.
