I love that I can now tell people, when they ask about butoh, to "Go and see Momo!" and they can come here. (That, and I would echo Pamela's comment above. Thank you so, so, so very much.)

Hi! I'm Anne Selby-I'm the girl that danced Butoh with Joe Talkington for years in Hawaii.  You clicked me on as a facebook friend. Yeah not sure why I can't comment on the videos-oh well I will just watch and enjoy them.
Take care-Much Aloha-Anne :)
