r&r diary – “Consciousness Rising, Recommended…” – 08.25.24

Playing at the Consciousnenss Rising Fest last night was exhilarating. We played our music to rolling hills, the trees, the water, the goats, the pigs, the chickens, and the kind and gentle folk who came out for music and frolic. The Lovely Carla Hayden and I did a WWSP Duo thing. We felt a little naked & exposed; our last show was with the full band. So it all seemed a bit elemental and revealing, just the two of us, two voices, an acoustic guitar and various percussion instruments. Instead of a major hurricane of sound, it was a little concentrated storm. We both felt we did “get there,” a few songs into our set. I burst into flames by the 3rd song, it’s always a good sign, total ingintion & liftoff. We both lost ourselves in the moment. It was quite a challenge and a kick! Thanks to Dennis Frederick for inviting us. And to Jeffery Dietz for hosting it all at his amazing, rollicking playground & farm. Day Two today. Highly Recommeneded! – Jammer
