Wekwomteks at Everett Ruess Days
I performed my wekwomteks sequence of poems from memory with bass accompaniment at 2pm today at Everett Ruess Days. All the blue haiku members attended along with Alex Caldiero and Larry Harper and some of my relatives who drove here from Provo and Moab. I had hoped to do the performance outside but it started to sprinkle just as I was about to start. My bass doesn't take too well to water so I did wekwomteks in a room in the Escalante City Hall. They also used this room to show Hal Cannon's Why The Cowboy Sings and Diane Orr's Lost Forever Everett Ruess - so the windows were blacked out with cardboard. The only lights were fluorescent - not particularly conducive to poetry celebrating the wilderness. I asked that the front lights be turned off with the only lighting coming from a row of lights in the back. So the pictures are dim, but it felt better this way. Gibbs Smith was there. Dana Robinson dropped in for a moment. I was hoping Harriet would hear wekwomteks, but she was busy with the Plein Air exhibit. Also, Jill and David were not able to make it. But wekwomteks seemed to be well received by those who were there. I am certainly glad I got an opportunity to perform in such an appropriate venue. I ended with an improvised bass solo. I was surprised that my fingers were a bit cold when I started so some of the ideas I had in my head just didn't work. I had to find new territory on the spot. I wish I had a recording - I liked how it turned out.

After Alex's performance we a small dinner at the Kiva Koffeehouse. We then went to the Dutch Oven Dinner at the Wild West Retreat. We enjoyed good food and conversation with Ken Sanders, Diane Orr, Alex Caldiero, Larry Harper and many others. I was good to spend time with other participants. Then we headed to the Escalante High School Auditorium to see the awards for the Plein Air art. After the awards we (blue haiku) played two long sets. The night before, when the New Galoots played in the auditorium, the attendance was not great due to a volleyball competition that many students and there parents attended in the next county. We lucked out with no competition and played to a well-filled house. We had great sound provided by Michael Griffin of Cedar City. His father, a cowboy and painter assisted him. I don't have any pictures of our concert to post since I was playing. Hopefully someone will send us some of the pictures they took. 2004-12-07 update: JR (Larry Harper's son) sent some pictures he took (under severe lighting conditions):

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.
