10-19-17 Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #280 was taped on a warm early fall afternoon at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, MA and features acoustic improvisations and songs from the Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, dulcimer, native flute, ukulele and acoustic guitar, Craig Harris on congas and drums and Bob Sherwood on piano. Today we begin with the lush folk psychedelic drone of “The Mattapoisett Shore” featuring a visionary, inspired lyric from Mariam. “Everyday For Well-Being” is a reminder to nurture and honor ourselves and “Happy I Am” is a gorgeous take on Mariam’s original song from the 2012 children’s album. “Drifting By In The Realm Of Love” is a lovely, mystical tone poem with imaginative piano from Bob and Mariam’s chiming acoustic guitar. “Blessed A Little Bit More Each Day” is another celebration of contentment in the spirit of “Every Day For Well-Being” with a slow, beautiful, spiritual flow. “Sing Down The Walls” is a take on Mariam’s 2009 song from the “Gaea Star Crystal: Awakening the Tribes of Light” and addresses strife around the world, and “Turn Away” is a languid ode to new beginnings.
