03-11-21 Today on Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #433 we present an hour of compelling acoustic improvisational music with the Gaea Star Band. Recorded in early March 2021 at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts, today’s show features Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, dulcimer and acoustic guitar, Robin Rooney on percussion, djembe and vocals, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas and Native drums. We begin the show with the raga-like exploration “Crow Calling Moon”, a mystical night song underpinned by Mariam’s dulcimer and a hypnotic piano motif from Bob. “Sweet Life Force” is a gorgeous, triumphant gospel song with fine vocals from Mariam and Robin and a moving, elegiac piano part from Bob. “Oh I Feel The River” is a beautiful minor ballad with a rock ‘n’ roll heart featuring sweeping acoustic guitar from Mariam, and “La Luna Heals In Every Way” is a spacious, evocative moon song with lovely vocals. We finish today with a trio of renditions of songs from Mariam’s new record “Release”; the lovely and lilting “Into The Mighty Waves” the country rocker “Just Walk Away” and the mystical, gorgeously mysterious and romantic summer song “Flowers Of Delight”.
