Ken, Joey, my pleasure and privilege. For the past couple years my retirement gig has been as a reservist with FEMA's Disaster Survivor Assistance (DSA) cadre. It's taken me to forgotten or little-known corners of the republic in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, California and now Maui, where I've encountered beautiful humanity and enchanting music that had eluded my ears heretofore. Joey, I look forward to checking out your work when I demobilize here. And Ken, your experiment has gotten me reflecting on time in Monterey County earlier this year toiling in the shadow of Steinbeck, Kerouac and Henry Miller. Inspiration as well for a collaboration with my compa Omar Sosa, Cuban pianist, composer and bandleader extraordinario. Meanwhile, be well.
Rode the Zephyr in winter many years ago albeit with different if kindred set of eyes and soundtrack. How memory.speaks, entwines and sings across time and space. Thanks to both you gentlemen, collaboration at its artful best.
Need to review on a screen bigger than my phone, here where California's zephyrs may be said to originate, but where fiercer winds and the beguiling spirit of capitalism have since the 1820s, and most recently, conspired to lay waste to Maui's own resilient aboriginal zephyr spirit.
Thank you. This means so much coming from you. Joey, meet Michael Stone --a musical mind, soul, and anthropologist extraordinaire-- you two should also connect, listen in on each other. Take care out there Michael!
Wow! beautiful photographs documenting an amazing journey. I paused the video to study them so many times that I will have to go back and listen to the music without interruption. Very nicely done Kenneth.
