This song was written around 1994, then released on my 2004 CD, Bloomsburg to Bangladesh, with tabla maestro Bulu Rahman. Here it is performed in its stripped-down version at the Advocacy Center in Pottsville, PA. ...
Steve and I did a cue to cue run through on Thursday afternoon before the performance. Once again we were asking ourselves “Why do we do this?” as the pay isn’t that great and the work is, well… significant at this time in the semester for both of us. It ...
