	The Independent Weekly: Zimbabwe: In time and tines
		Magaya, first of all, doubted Berliner's intentions--nothing in his experience suggested that a white man could seriously want to learn to play the mbira.
		Also, Magaya tried to teach Berliner as he would a Zimbabwean student, but they weren't getting anywhere--Berliner was an accomplished jazz musician, but he could not hear the beat.
		Magaya's face broke into an amiable, crooked smile as he told me the story, and he laughed.
