WHAT’S NEW- August 2006
I began teaching after the Ashtanga Intensive with Anthony Carlisi. Yoga Hawaii gave me a venue to practice my approach to teaching Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.
Well, a year has gone by. Presently, in Honolulu working on some new Blues tracks with Pierre Grill at Rendez-Vous Recordings in Manoa. The reception to Martian Chronicles has been wonderful. Thanks to everyone.
The Summer was good. There were some good swells. Taught many Yoga classes. Travelled to Thailand, Japan, and Bali, Indonesia in August. Met the infamous Mr. Ketut on this trip. Making the Melasti Beach Resort my home away from home.
MAY, 2005 AFTER A WONDERFUL TRIP TO EUROPE VIA:
SAN FRANCISCO. Starting in May-visiting Sister Lee Anne and husband, Jazz guitar great Otis Fuller.
NEW YORK- to experience band drama at its finest with the remaining Les Sans Coulottes, and do Yoga with Guruji, Sri K. Pattabi Jois at the Puck Building, eat at Spark’s Steakhouse with the Jar and Annette(we’d been planning this for years).
LONDON to visit Sophie Reigner with her cool French flatmates. A quick jaunt to BIARRITZ where Sophie and Zachary caught some surf.
Back to LONDON to meet up with the Jar to head to MILAN and Florence( Jar or Jeremy Parzen) where Jar gets the job translaing the best selling Italian murder mystery novel into English. Aside from the Spark’s adventure in New York, we’d always planned to have a Tuscan steak (maybe we should call this trip “the great Steak and Yoga adventure”). Well, it all came together perfectly thanks to Ryanair, Stefano, Anna, Mathilde, the Italian Rail System, and two well dressed gents in Florence- namely the Jar and Zachary.
Back to London and onto the magnificent wedding of Francesca and Michael Kornberg in Marlborough. Mike just becam an M.D. and Cesca published a childen’s book. All the best to Matt Adey, a talented musician. What a great ending- Congratulations. Thanks so much to Sophie and her wonderful hospitality.
JUNE-Back home to Honolulu for an Intense Ashtanga Yoga Intensive learning the Primary Series of Ashtanga with Yoga Hawaii’s Rupali and Prem, Anthony Carlisi for the Month of June.
Zachary is now a certified Yoga Instructor
Well, something happened on the way to the Yoga studio.
A little history, fourteen years ago Zachary met Tni Jinnies, and he got to experience Love and a great life that produced many great songs and poems( The Shade “Blueberries”, GT350, The first album with greats like “Easy”, “Hallways”, and “You Don’t know Blues”). All this great material, and positive growth came about. Hitchcock, walked away went back to drugs, wanton women, and excess to finally near destruction. Back from near death, he woke out of this nightmare, and got back to life, Surfing, friends, Yoga, Tai Chi, and most of all clean living without chemicals- maybe some tea of coffee from time to time, but that’s it.
Back on the way to the Yoga Studio, there was this girl, named Melanie from Montreal who stole his heart. Suddenly, the guitar was out- songs are and are being written. Even the Electric( the notorious 1992 Red Gibson SG) was out with his bad ass Snider combo Amp with the Blues spilling out in a fountain of crisp distorted notes. That poor guitar had’nt been played in two years! Zachary fell and fell hard. See he can’t have this girl- she’s promised to another. The connection is there, whether it happened in another life or will happen later- she was and is his angel. His Muse. And thank you Melanie because there’s talk of a new band, album, and shows. Love. Love. Love. Look for new poems at Ultramega.
Welcome back Zachariah Hitchcock Rocker!
He could’nt stop thinking about her and needed to get away. Off to Thailand, Bali, and Japan to keep his mind off this Woman. What a great trip and Asia is so much fun.
