Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #218

06-09-16 Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #218 features the Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, native flute, baritone ukulele and dulcimer, Dameron Midgett on banjo, mandolin, singing bowls, classical guitar and didjeridoo, Craig Harris on congas and marimbas and Bob Sherwood on piano.  Today’s first piece is Mariam’s sprightly, delicate “Colors Whispering In The Night”, a modal jam with several bright motifs that leads into “Magical Moments Wherever You Are”, a stately minor piece with an insistent piano and an expansive, expressive melody from Mariam.  “Here We Are Sharing Life” is a mystical ballad that grows slowly into a deep reggae groove with a hypnotic bassline from Bob on piano and scintillating crystal bowl from Dameron.  We slowly segue into the mysterious “Snake Woman Looking North”, a psychedelic workout with a rich vocal and driving conga work from Craig.  “Resurrection of the Truth” grows from a rich ballad featuring sensitive native flute from Mariam and “Didibadidaday Flowers” closes today’s show with a bouncing groove and a folk sensibility.
