home :: community Tue, 30 Dec 2003Next thing you know you've lost your whole life in bars playing on weekends. Thu, 25 Dec 2003The irony of taking Gilgamesh to Filipe's funeral in Chile not knowing that Craig was already dead. Sat, 13 Dec 2003Four white robes with bald heads (except for one small patch on top) kneeling before the black-robed Roshi. A single candle burning near the Buddha behind him. Surrounded by black robes seated on cushions on mats. Three bows for your parents and family. All black chanting a monotone, "be one with the Sanga honorable for its harmony - the Buddha as been revealed." Punctuated by wood block claps. "I vow to refrain from talking about other's errors and faults." Window open letting in the cool winter air to offset the heat of all the seated people. "You will receive assistance putting on the robes. Since your a baby Buddha you must be dressed." "Each of these times were hand-stitched." "Only the Buddha can cut the last piece of hair on the top of your head." The cushioned bell. Another chant. "Cutting one's hair is cutting the root of human attachment." A certain repetition and monotony seems to be built into the ceremony from my nanosecond 21st century perspective. - beads - bell - bowing - |

Red Rock Rondo performed at the rededication of the nature center at Zion National Park. (Note: after we agreed to play we learned that Laura Bush would speak. Although we disagree with her husband's policies, the fact that she is spending a week with friends hiking in Zion Park is a good thing.) 2007-03-15-21-argentina buenos aires
1996-spring-CowdaddiesAtBarrySchollsWedding Cowdaddies in Torrey, UtahWhile rummaging about old photos I came across these pictures of the Cowdaddies playing in Torrey, Utah in the Spring 1996 at Barry Scholl's wedding.
1976 Inside/Outside Inside/OutsideAnother blast from the past. Sherm Clow sent me this picture of Inside/Outside, a group I was in back around 1976, featuring Merrill Clark, leader, composition and guitar; Brenda (Gibb) Vincent, violin; Divya Prem (Dan Gaard), drums; and me on electric and acoustic bass. I think this picture was for our performance at the Hansen Planetarium.
