Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour with Mariam Massaro

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #354 was recorded at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts, on a warm late spring day and features the Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, native flute, ukulele, harmonica, piano and acoustic guitar, Bob Sherwood on piano and acoustic guitar and Craig Harris on congas and native drums. Today’s first piece is the driving, fundamental “Let’s All Go Down Deep Within” a blooming, growing piece that begins in an austere native mode and grows into a lush ballad decorated by gorgeous native flute from Mariam. “All Hail To The Glory” is a pretty, sprightly ballad hung upon Mariam’s chiming ukulele and Craig’s driving congas that grows into a driving Afrocuban groove with ambitious, imaginative and jazzy piano figures from Bob. Next up, “Queen Moon” is a gorgeous, impassioned ballad featuring acoustic guitar and inspired, visionary lyrics from Mariam. Today’s final piece is “So Many Shades Of Green” and features Mariam’s piano as Bob moves to the acoustic guitar.
