Dr Donald Francis Addison

Hello. I am a newcomer, I am most happy to be onboard. I'm a choctaw Indian with a Ph. D. in music. I have spent 50 years (and still) teaching Ethnomusicology, Cultural Anthropology (Native American Languages as well) to college and university students in Eugene, Oregon. When I was much young, I had the distinct privilege to work for several years as ballet pianist accompanying classes for such incredibly wonderful people in Beverly Hills as Tatiana Riabushinskaya, and Tatiana's prize student, the very kind mrs. Joanne Woodward (Newman), Tatiana's husband David Lichine, and their business partner Irina Kosmovska. I also worked for a wonderful few years for Gene Marinaccio in his studio in Hollywood on Vine Street. I would love to reconnect with some fellows in the business like Bill Merrimum and Dee Dee Wilkes, etc. I love the dance world so much. I have also written and presented scholarly papers and published with the Society of Dance Scholar Historians. Dr Don Addison (Eugene, Oregon)
