Circus Synchronicity


Here’s another story from Isabella Rajotte of Montreal who earlier gave us the sounds of synchronicity.
***
One week before performing on a circus show for a corporate event in Cleveland, I searched for a CD of jazz trio, the Susie Arioli Band. I’d heard their music on the radio and loved it, but I couldn’t find the CD. I left Montreal on a Friday night and performed at the circus in Cleveland.

The show went well, and on my way back I almost missed the airplane. The owner of the circus, who had invited me, wanted souvenirs for her children, and that delayed us. So the plane was ready to go when we reached the gate. A man thought everyone was boarded and had taken my seat by the window. He moved over to his original seat in the middle, and introduced himself as Shane Mackenzie.

I told him about my circus performance, and he said that he was also a musician. “What kind of music?” I asked.

“Jazz. I’m the bass fiddle player with the Susie Arioli Band.”

    Wow, a good one. I listened to Isabella and it's amazing how her voice can put me in a really good place, but there was a buzzing. I wonder if that is part of the experience? I would love to have a cd by her. I downloaded a bunch of stuff from I-Tunes, it really helps with meditation, but would love to have her voice. It is so healing.
