Jaia played
beautiful songs and even graced us with a little poetry as she strummed
her guitar and got wonderful and surprising new sounds out of the
banjo. For her CDs,

Paul gave us bluesy,
haunting tunes that really showed off the versatility of the guitar, as
a percussion instrument among other things. He improvised a song of
tribute to the heater which kept his fingers nimble on the drizzly and
chilly spring evening. For his CDs, info and

A bluegrass/reggae
concert was hosted at Arcosanti on Saturday. The High Grass Pickers

band from Tempe, provided a mellow mood in the vaults. This was their
