From time to time we would like to include pictures and information about the religious belief system of the Northern Khmer people. This past week Jim had the opportunity to observe a ceremony honoring the "gods" of music. The ceremony was held to call on the "gods" to grant ability to the students who will be learning and using these Thai instruments. The students and their teacher offered a pig head and fruit along with prayers and burning incense.
