"Becoming a parent at 63, manifests an entirely new learning curve in one's life. Suddenly, your responsibility to friends, family, spouse, and self become secondary. You must tailor that learning curve to that of your swiftly developing child. Your values, understanding of dignity, and divinity, are transferred to that mind, and soul, and at all times care must be taken to ensure
that evolving mind remains open, and imaginative."

 
Tony Cox is one of South Africa’s living musical treasures. Cox has honed and developed a personal compositional and instrumental style that is not bound by any classification. Although hard to describe but easy to appreciate and uniquely beautiful, his music is a mosaic that incorporates the evocative and infectious rhythms, delicate patterns and varying styles of his homeland. Along with classical, folk and many other
influences, he demonstrates a complete mastery of the
‘finger-style’ of playing, where the right hand works with precision to weave a tapestry of textures.
"The shows introduce young people to world music, particularly African music, in the most entertaining and participatory way possible.
Drawn into a world of stories full of laughter and music, the children learn without even noticing."
