soniaPete by Geoffrey Gevalt. A tribute to Pete Sutherland, whose music I loved in college and after, including a lovely story about helping kids hear people's stories and write ballads about them. Folk musician Pete Sutherland dies at 71 by Juliet Schulman-Hall from a year ago.
Music links on youtube:
Morning Walk, a peaceful, meditative album I haven't listened to in years by Pete Sutherland's band Metamora. The one I wore out on tape and then bought again on CD and let it lull me to sleep every night was Thunderhead by the other two musicians in Metamora, Malcolm Dalglish and Grey Larsen. I'd forgotten that Thunderhead shifts into strong Balkan 7/8 time half-way through. No wonder I loved it so.

I'm in a state of grace listening to Morning Walk -- thank you so much.

Date: 2023-12-08 01:44 am (UTC)I thought I was posting into the void about something that no one would care about but me - it's great to find those threads of connection and common experience. I'm not sure what net of connections led to my seeing Geoffrey Gevalt's toot, and I'm glad I paid attention to my sense of recognizing Pete Sutherland's name with a smile.
