09-30-21 Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #461 is an hour of visionary acoustic improv music brought to you from Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts. Featuring the Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, Celtic Harp, harmonica, shruti box, acoustic guitar and ukulele, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drums and congas, today’s show begins with a bucolic flute fanfare that leads into the plaintive “Hold The Light”, a drifting, hypnotic piece amply decorated with Mariam’s lyrical flute passages. “As The Days Unravel” is a bittersweet, jazzy goodbye to summer with a fine vocal from Mariam and imaginative, dynamic piano from Bob and “Restore You Vision Within” is a somber, intense raga with a visionary vocal from Mariam in praise of self-restoration. “Fireflies” is a nighttime ballad to Mother Nature that feels like a dark walk in an August forest, driven by Mariam’s insistent guitar and fine, hypnotic congas from Craig. “To The Healing Force” is a triumphant gospel song with soulful vocals and harmonica from Mariam and bluesy, ragtime piano from Bob and we conclude today’s hour-long journey with the plaintive love ballad “If Only”, a drifting, trancing summer dance with a gorgeous lyric and melody from Mariam over her dancing ukulele.
