Bountiful Peak Sleep - Above Antelope Island
Arriving in a certain slant of sunlight, watching the angle change. What I brought: water, iBook, dog, dog food, sleeping bag, cot, etc. Sitting here where I've sat for decades. Smell of sage when Tika, my dog, walks through the brush, disturbing the plants. What I did not bring: Flavia. She is elsewhere. One thing I brought I didn't a decade ago: reading glasses. Watching the sun descend - carefully, avoiding its full reflection in the lake - a few clouds on the horizon. What to describe: what's changed or what's now? The air full of small flying bugs. About 30 minutes before sunset they start to dissipate. Tika prowling the hillside. Me listening to the silence. I give her water while I eat a chicken salad. Quiet granite. Lichen, seemingly living on air. A breeze so slight it barely moves the sage blossoms. The movement increases ever so slightly with the sunset edge breeze. Sage, lupine, indian paint brush - all in bloom. To the east, deepening dark purple. Almost a dome over the western third of the sky. A dome of disappearing blue at the eastern edge - orange and red on the horizon. Descending into dark. All merging into a single silence. Until the waning gibbous moon rises behind me. And except for civilization all lit up below. |

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.
