Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #491 is an inspired hour of visionary acoustic improvisational music played live by the Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Celtic harp, harmonica, ukulele, dulcimer, acoustic guitar and Native flute, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drums and congas. Recorded at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in May 2022, today’s show begins with the mystical, spacious “As We Rise Up”, a compelling song that begins with lilting Native flute fanfares before gradually building to a powerful chant. “To Where We Dwell Eternally” is a bluesy folk song led by Mariam’s plucky ukulele and “Oh May We Find Our Way Through The Passage Of Life” is a minor ballad with a fine vocal from Mariam across a tight, emotional framework from the band. “Castle In The Sky” is a whispering, stately ballad led by Mariam’s silken acoustic guitar locked with Craig’s conga groove and “Rail Train” is a beautiful epic that features overdubs from the band adding vocals, harmonica, percussion and bass guitar to bring depth to this jazzy exploration. Today’s show finishes with the chiming “Woody”, an ode to a friendly woodpecker showcasing Mariam’s silvery 8-string ukulele.
