12-26-19 Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #376
Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour is an hour of visionary acoustic musical improv recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, MA, and features Mariam Massaro and Bob Sherwood of the Gaea Star Band with Mariam on ukuleles, acoustic guitar, native flute and shrudi box and Bob Sherwood on piano and acoustic guitar. Today’s show begins with the light, lively and pleasantly naïve “Thank You For The Glory Of Life”, led by Mariam on her ukulele as Bob creates simple, repetitive piano figures. “To The Beauty” is a lush minor ballad with a lovely melody from Mariam and imaginative piano splashes from Bob, and “A Prayer To Return To A Place Of Wonder” begins with an evocative native flute fanfare from Mariam and grows into a solemn tale of a reverie in nature. “We Love You Mother Earth” follows, with Mariam playing the shrudi box for this stately, unhurried prayer. “Yemanja” is a lovely, rich take on the “Gaea Star Goddesses” album classic, and “Let’s Hitch A Ride On The Magic Carpet” is a pretty folk ballad featuring Mariam’s acoustic guitar. “I’m Here Now” is a lush, evocative piece with gospel overtones and we conclude today with Mariam on piano and vocals and Bob on acoustic guitar for the lovely, whispering “Healed By The Beauty”.
