Dedication in memoriam: for Kyōzan Jōshū Roshi

Background and acknowledgment: Walatowa is the word in the Jémez language for Jémez Pueblo, New Mexico, one of nineteen traditional communities in the southwest United States that include several of the most ancient sites of continuous habitation (to the present) in North America. 

The generating idea of this work is a song composed by Frank Fragua, now among the ancestors of present-day Jémez Pueblo.  In the early 1980's, Mr. Fragua was generous to share with me a glimpse of the tradition of song renewal that he helped to pass down within that community. This work also commemorates my deep respect for and enduring gratitude to him.

With thanks to Rev. Seiju Bob Mammoser for photo of Virgin Mesa.

Toccata Walatowa II

Every season there are programs that draw attention by playing above (other's?) expectations. However, by mid-February many of them have whilted in conference play. But not all.

On Thursday's Hoopsville, we chat with four programs which have gotten stronger and with weeks left in the regular season may be position to continue playing in March. What is working so well for some programs who aren't always in the spotlight? And are they woefully underrated?

Plus so many games, conferences races, and more to recap all on today's matinee edition of Hoopsville presented by D3hoops.com

Guests appearing on the Hudl Hoopsville Hotline:
- Colleen Ames, Cortland women's coach
- Alexa Shields, Merchant Marine women's coach
- Josh Brooks, Belhaven men's coach
- Chris Sullivan, No. 20 Denison men's coach
