ion, a spark of energy, and the source of numerous songs, narratives, and commentaries.My husband Mike Flueckiger and my children, Peter and Rachel, have been more than patient with my frequent trips back to India and the impact of my continuing relationship with India on our family, which makes us, as my daughter once said, "not quite like other families."I thank them for their love and growing understanding.Finally, my parents, Edward and Ramoth Burkhalter, first instilled in me a love and respect for India; they created a home in Chhattisgarh in which grew deep roots that continue to nurture unexpected fiowerings.They provided unconditional support to me during my numerous sojourns in Chhattisgarh, from creatively listening, respond ing to equipment failures and the latest adventure or misadventure of field work, to meeting numerous trains and buses as I made my way back home.I sorely miss their presence when I now return to my maikii.It is to them and the performers and audiences of Chhattisgarh, who so graciously shared their traditions with me, that I dedicate this book.
