This week's episode renamed, Nerdin out with Karen and Tyrone features my special guest from Odaiko Sonora in Tucson Arizona, Karen "Karizona" Falkenstrom.
Hear the origin story of Karen's introduction to taiko, the beginnings of Odaiko Sonora and her memories of her first teacher Stanley Morgan.
We then go down the rabbit hole and discuss the life cycles of groups, natc and the taiko community as a whole... past-present-future! We touch on how taiko groups are like a love relationship with Joy, Love, breakups...wow that got deep!
I hope you enjoy my conversation with Karen as much as we enjoyed recording it.
