All who love Ossabaw Island are pausing this week to thank President Jimmy Carter for his vital contribution to preserving Georgia’s third-largest barrier island, located just south of Savannah. The late Mrs. Eleanor “Sandy” Torrey West frequently credited Carter for his two-part role in her family’s decision in the 1970s to sell Ossabaw to the state of Georgia, creating the Heritage Preserve Act of 1975. "The reason that we sold to the state was Jimmy Carter,” said Mrs. West in a 2002 interview. “He was the only one that came here and said 'You tell me what should be done.' "
I am honored and delighted to return to this magical island for a retreat with Gayanne Geurin - to sing the inspiration of the land, the water, the layers of stories, and the many creatures that live on Ossabaw!

One of my favorite ways to compose is making Polyrhythmic Multi-lingual Musical Collages. I made my first one with the students of Garden Hills Elementary in Atlanta, where there were 40 languages represented. David Marcus helped me arrange a wonderful composition with native speakers layering up 10 different languages over some danceable percussion!

This is a Spontaneous Improvisation with the audience at Steve's Live Music in Atlanta. It is a song of gratitude to live music, to all the musicians who make playing so much fun, and to folks who come to listen and are also willing to become part of the music.
