  1. March 7th at the Sigal Music Museum in Greenville, SC, I enjoyed  an incredibly beautiful concert featuring the Handpan. The collection of musicians from US and one from Japan  named Resound Handpan House played their original compositions, individually composed and those composed together since late February . 
     

    What a gem in Greenville is this Sigal Music Museum. ! The extensive instrument collection contains ones played by Mozart, a gift from King George 3 to Queen Victoria, and played by Chopin. A harpsichord in the collection was made for General Lafayette for his return to US. 
     

    here is a link to a past show for the band if you are interested in checking out the individual players. 
     

    Adam Maalouf had a frame drum that he tuned with a bicycle pump. It had a built in inter tube?! Brilliant

  2. Yes the trippy discordance is great but the lyrics…. 
     

    Turn off your mind
    Relax, and float downstream
    It is not dying
    It is not dying

     

    Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void
    It is shining, it is shining
    That you may see, the meaning of within
    It is being, it is being

     

    That love is all and love is everyone
    It is knowing, it is knowing
    That ignorance and hate may mourn the dead
    It is believing, it is believing

    But listen to the color, of your dreams
    It is not living, it is not living
    Or play the game "Existence" to the end


    Of the beginning, of the beginning

    Of the beginning, of the beginning
    Of the beginning, of the beginning
    Of the beginning

    I’m totally immersed in the Native American culture, studying them here on the Delmarva Peninsula. There’s projectile points found here that match up to ones found in caves in Spain and France, Solutrean style. One of the unsuccessful peopling of the Americas 23,000 years ago? I work on a farm that’s on the Chester River, near the spine of Delmarva. There’s a buried bog on the farm with a spring running into the Chester. There’s a Native American site there that they let me surface hunt the beach. In 14 years, I have found 476 projectile points, 47 tools ranging from full groove axes, Bannerstones, Sinew stones, Pestles, Hammerstones, game ball, scrapers, oh, and the bowl from a native clay pipe, about 245 significant potsherds representing at least 18 different containers. Another 3-500 smaller potsherds Diagnostic point styles show continuous visitation to this site for 10,000 years. Grateful Dead music is one of my hobbies. This is the other one. 

    Have you read Empire of the Summer Moon or 1491? These both are really fascinating… just met the great grandson of Quanah Parker which is pretty wild considering I met years ago his grandson’s brother in law. What are the odds? The great grandson said Cynthia Ann Parker would wait on the porch facing west looking for dust clouds, waiting to be rescued again by her native family. This guy spoke Comanche, which is pretty remarkable …

     

    just found the most incredible point the other day that’s 4,000 years old up above Columbus, NC under an outcropping on White Oak Mountain. Nothing like you speak of but still… 
     

    My great grandmother was native but I don’t know much about her because Papa was 5 when she died, 2 years after his father died. My great grandfather was 76 when my grandfather was born. He fought in Cobb’s Legion and was at Gettysburg and the surrender at Appomattox. Not much was spoken of our southern native roots because it was considered shameful.

  5. In 1986 I was told this string of NYE shows were sold out, not surprising since  Jerry had overcome such odds and returned in great form. But of the wonderful generous nature in orbiting that  Grateful Dead universe , along the side road beside the Kaiser,  speakers were set up allowing the generous tent/ lot scene across from the convention center to partake in dance and musical communion. This followed a string of shows for his official welcome back on  Dec 15, 16, 17 that my friends” mail ordered, got and attended three nights. In between JGB played the Stone theater some.

    I'll be driving up from the Spartanburg / Greenville area of South Carolina to catch this one show in DC. I pulled the trigger a little too quickly and will have an extra ticket. Anyone looking for a ride who wants to share some expenses ... give me a shout!

    Leaving the morning of the show ...
