Joshua had a plan.  We recorded a small musical group and several individuals.  We also spent quite a bit of time laughing and talking with our friends.  Ghanaians enjoy conversation, laughing, plenty of teasing, and their eyes get wide with anticipation as we discuss what to do for the next meal.  From ground nut soup with rice balls to fried or <a href=\"https:\/\/tasty.co\/recipe\/ghanaian-jollof-rice-as-made-by-tei-hammond\">Jollof<\/a> rice with <a href=\"https:\/\/eatwellabi.com\/ghana-shito\/\">shito<\/a> &#8212; the ubiquitous red pepper sauce that looks more black than red, food is always a welcome conversation.  As always, we hold onto plans loosely here.  Anything can happen, from mechanical breakdowns to getting lost.  The day went mostly according to plan.  The two hour rainstorm delay was but a small adjustment.  Joshua and Ray&#8217;s son Joseph managed all the recordings.  Joshua has become very skilled, and it is clear he will be able to make great progress throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today&#8217;s update is brief, but here are some photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leopardshark.com\/ghana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_8421.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/leopardshark.com\/ghana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_8421.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leopardshark.com\/ghana-trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_8421.jpg 600w, https:\/\/leopardshark.com\/ghana-trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_8421-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Does your church have a tambourine rack?  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leopardshark.com\/ghana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_8423.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/leopardshark.com\/ghana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_8423.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leopardshark.com\/ghana-trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_8423.jpg 900w, https:\/\/leopardshark.com\/ghana-trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_8423-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leopardshark.com\/ghana-trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_8423-768x567.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Joshua gets busy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leopardshark.com\/ghana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_8429.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"639\" src=\"https:\/\/leopardshark.com\/ghana\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_8429.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/leopardshark.com\/ghana-trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_8429.jpg 900w, https:\/\/leopardshark.com\/ghana-trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_8429-300x213.jpg 300w, https:\/\/leopardshark.com\/ghana-trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_8429-768x545.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Joseph with the gimbal.
