Shadow's Wreck Beach Harvest Party Sept.
2008
It was a grand day of incredible music and
truly inspirational jamming participation from many other
accomplished musicians. It spiraled up in energy as 50 or more
gathered, some joining in harmony to all the songs remembered.
It then moved into a high energy rhythmic drumming jam that
attracted many beautiful goddesses and gods, dancing mostly naked in
memorable community magic. It was certainly a day to
remember...thanks to everyone that came out and played with us in
whatever way that looked like! |
