Hello, my friend!
I had a great musical and mystical experience *finally* recording the forthcoming mostly kirtan CD at Loho Studios in NYC last Tuesday. I love the rough mix results and can't wait to finish mixing and mastering. It was my first real experience with recording mostly live... I think it's really the only way to capture the energy of this kind of music and outpouring. Working with some old friends was comforting and enjoyable (excellent, intuitive bassist Dave Dreiwitz and the lovely and talented singer/songwriter Kate Evans). There was Ed Feldman on tabla, David Ellenbogen on guitar, and Amee Kurtz shared vocals with Kate. Karttikeya, with whom I've played many a kirtan gig, :-)joined in on percussion. They were all fab! Greg DiGesu, another musician from my New Brunswick, NJ days of old will help out on post-production. I will keep you posted and share it all with you ASAP.

The Mid-Atlantic Poetry & Spoken Word fest is this weekend already! It runs from noon to midnight with workshops, readings, and open mics all day and features in the evening. I'll be reading and singing around 7pm.
