Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #639 is an inspired hour of acoustic improvised music played by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, double flute, harmonica, acoustic 6- and 12-string guitars, mandolin and ukulele, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas and Native drum. Recorded live in late September of 2025 at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts, today’s show begins with the deeply spiritual raga “Let’s All Live As If We Know Who We Are”, a somber and darkly beautiful song led by Mariam’s chiming 12-string Martin acoustic and Craig’s fundamental heartbeat drum. “Flowing On Singing Your Songs” provides an enormous contrast to the first piece as a dancing, lighthearted folk song built around Mariam’s skipping ukulele and Bob’s blues piano and “It’s Never Too Late To Gather” is a pretty, minor-keyed tone poem with a lovely vocal and affecting double flute from Mariam over imaginative piano and earthy Native drum. “Let’s Make A Wish For Peaceful Joy” features Mariam’s chiming mandolin and a fine, active vocal as well as Craig’s skipping conga groove and “Surrender To Just Flowing Celebration” is a pretty folk ballad with a lovely foundation of Mariam’s acoustic guitar, Craig’s throbbing Native drum and Bob’s relaxed, minimalist piano and we close today’s show with two classic songs from Mariam, the driving, impassioned “Trust” and the wistful country rock ballad “I Was Wondering”.
