The Body Electric Collective Initiatif 1-23-2011




Well it would seem that every Sunday is getting better and better. This past T.A.Z. was off the charts and the energy levels were all turned up to eleven, or you could say everyone's controls were set to Jupiter and Beyond.
The best moment for me of the whole night was when I finished playing a spectacular jam session with everyone using my song called "A Gathering". In all the years since I had written I had never heard the song sound so right in both spirit and style. That tune was meant for Mark's guitar licks.
After finishing the jam I looked at Anthony and said, "Boy, I wish we'd been recording that."
Anthony looked at me and smiled, "We were." He pointed to a little red light shining out from the book shelf in the wall. Well done, Anthony. Well done.

The following links are the various jams from the evening. The songs played all happen to be from the "Child of the Earth" album I had been working on in my head for over three years. This day was a very special day also because I had finally found out how to tie the whole album together. The last pieces of the puzzle had fallen into place and I felt like playing these songs and with new zeal.
We did Scaffold twice on here because Matthew wasn't around for the first take and I wanted him to hear the song. Now that I'm hearing these tunes recorded I wish we had played more of them, but hell, I'm thankful that Anthony the trickster had a recorder up his sleeve to save the day along with the memories.
