09-03-26 Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #684 is an hour of visionary acoustic improv music recorded by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, native flute, ukuelele, acoustic guitar and dulcimer, Craig Harris on congas and Native drum and Bob Sherwood on piano. Recorded on a lush August afternoon at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts, today’s show begins with the dreamy, sedate “All Life Unfolds”, a drifting, lovely thing led by Mariam’s pretty stream-of-consciousness lyric and languid vocal. “So Many Veils” follows with a native flute fanfare from Mariam and evolves into a hushed, meditative piece and “Finding Our Power Deep Within” is a summer celebration led by Mariam’s chiming ukulele draped on a bluesy piano bassline from Bob. Mariam continues strumming her ukulele for “It’s Gonna Be All Right”, a simple folk song that quickly evolves in a lovely, minimalist prayer with entrance of Bob’s beautiful piano motif and Craig’s round, steady congas. Mariam picks up her dulcimer for the next two pieces, the gorgeous, detailed “Sea Of Love” and the ragaesque “We Are The Ancient Ones”. We finish today with the beautiful, melancholy “Dare To Dream In Your True Essence” featuring soaring, exotic double flute and evocative vocals from Mariam.
