Hey all~
Thanks to Chris Stone's efforts, we have a cover for this show.

http://www.yondermeister.com/ecover/TAARKA_020803.pdf

You need Acrobat reader to open this.  I don't believe any additions have
been made on the cover setlist from what Greg has below.


Great show!  Thanks Greg!

To James,

I'm thrilled you received the tapes!  After Bumbershoot, due to your
lengthy tour, I knew it would be a long time before you could receive
them.

That rare 1973 Gabor Szabo album, CTI, is unique and among my top
"Island" possessions (not available today).  Around 1980, I needed a new
vinyl copy to replace the old one, and discovered it was no longer
available.  Panic'ed, after work one night I drove from West LA to record
store after record store meandering thru LA back to Pasadena - to FIND
that one jewel.  I finally struck it rich in a bin at an obscure record
store in East LA.


To list,

My first exposure happened upon Taarka at Bumbershoot on the crossroads
of two pathways.  Listened to two numbers but then on "Bird Fish Falls" I
raised my hand, and loudly proclaimed SOLD to "donate" for a Taarka CD.

Later, I expressed to James exactly "what" put me over the top to buy
that CD!  I lauded his virtuosity, particularly his percussionistic style
solo.  Strikingly, James' immediate retort was this:  "I really feel
lucky to be playing with these talented people."  (I was thinking, "they
should feel lucky playing with you."  Later I learned why James said
that: Everybody in TAARKA is excellent!

Taarka was THE greatest discovery at Bumbershoot 2002.  And the members
of Taarka are the finest people you  would ever want to meet.  May their
success exceed their dreams.

Bill Hughes,
Liberty Lake, WA

Oh, by the way,

For anyone who was planning on going, it appears as though the Taarka
show in Port Townsend (orig. scheduled for Fri Dec 13th) has been
canceled.

Wonderful business, this...apparently we got double booked.

This means the only Taarka performance left in 2002 will be at Jazz
Bones in Tacoma on Wednesday Dec 11th.

Hi Bill,

Please accept our belated thanks for the very nice packages you sent
each of us.  The road has been kind to us, but also quite hectic and
things are just now starting to return to normal in our lives!  I
finally had a chance to listen to that Gabor Szabo record (it's called
Mizrab, for any interested parties; Bill sent it to me because a song of
mine, "Como Llamaste," reminded him of a track; it has folks like Billy
Cobham, Ron Carter and Jack DeJohnette on it, so obviously it is quite
worth listening to).

I have a few nicely recoded bootlegs of Taarka; if you (or anyone else)
would be interested, just send me an email and I can give you a catalog
of what I have.

My email is james@... or you can email me through my website
at http://www.jameswhiton.com

Take care,

-jw (Taarka bassist)

Jack,

At Bumbershoot, I had an external Sony mic "ECM-MS907" on my Canon
mini-DV camcorder, and was "right on top of the group" (they being on the
pathway and not on a stage far away) turning the mic in the direction of
their hidden amps as I panned in order to capture the audio.  It came out
very good because I was soooo CLOSE. Good luck recording.  Of course the
best would be to run a line right off the in-house system.  Perhaps
Taarka would allow you.

I taped Dan Hicks and the Hot licks the day before and was located RIGHT
in front of the stage at the mural amphitheatre.  There were speakers at
the front of the stage pointing across the stage at one another (in
addition to others pointed out to the lawn area.

BELIEVE ME, my recording of Taarka was sooo much better!  Because I was
CLOSE.  And that's the key.  Other than capturing audio off the in-house
system, "maybe" the band could announce that "this performance" is being
taped, and therefor they would allow you to crawl around the stage (as
they do at Austin City Limits kind of tapings).

It is really nice of the band to allow video recordings of them, but also
marketing SMART.

If you capture a GREAT recording, please let me know.  I finally received
news that Taarka had received my personal letters and the four video
tapes I gave them, via an old college friend's daughter who talked to
Enion at the show in Ballard.  I plan on making a copy of what I have and
giving it to the "Friends of Pavillion Park" here in Liberty Lake, WA,
for their consideration as a band to schedule for their concert series
next summer.

Bill
