Transmission from Darwin Prophet:
I am a thematic traveler from planet mi, collecting
color from the tapestry of thought, riding the mirror of time, bending will to
gravity, and dragging the audience kicking and dreaming into literacy. Fighting mundacity for the freedom of unique expression-
Feed the Skull
BECOME SOMEONE YOU BELIEVE IN
Sharing my Present on this planet with the multiverse of sound in my cage, my focus here is to translate the relative theory of
thematic timing through concentric infinity, a concept we call All Time and to
share with you beautiful minds the collected color and creative chaos stored in
the haloseum of my experience. I am Darwin Prophet,
traveler and aural exhibitionist from Planet Mi, the third sphere following the
Phantom in the Galaxy Solege.
Gathering intelligent life forms manifesting memorable art and encouraging the
power of individualism is my goal where ever I am in the mobius.
I am a member of the Thematic Guild of Planet Mi, and a leader of the subgrid NeoWave Elitists, the progenetors of Art for Art's Survival - a reflection of the
Aesthetic Movement of Victorian Earth combined with the musical tendencies of
Earth's 20th Century new wave. We travelers ride
the ages unbound by linear, defying gravity, relying on the mercurial nature of Mians to flow in & out of the history and future
of the cosmos, bringing harmonic regeneration to life forms everywhere.

Starwind is an amazing storyteller and a songwriter,
humble though he may be.
His voice carries through the mighty trees of the
forest like a force to be reckoned with. We remember being in the deep woods at some faraway land, and suddenly, breaking
through the darkness, we heard this amazing sound. No amplification, no stage, no audience. Just that voice, the trees, and the jealous
wind. At that moment, we knew what true
magick sounded like... coming through a vessel of purity; unadulterated,
egoless and unselfconscious. Pure Spirit. It was a
thing of true beauty, and we shall never forget it.
Although he may have taken a departure from his old
*Funk*Rock*Reggae* roots of his power funk band The Raft, and wanted but to do
a simple acoustic set here this weekend, we are honored and patiently awaiting
the experience. We are certain it will
be something to remember. Synchronistically, Leo was here at our very first festival
ever, F2K in the year 2000. It seems
that this year is a homecoming and reunion of sorts... a revisiting of the past
and a meeting with the future.
Brian grew up in a family of musicians who were part of the folk/singer-songwriter movement in St. Louis in the late 60's and early 70's, and that music has been an influence throughout his life. After a 10+ year absence from the music scene, Brian is busily writing what will become his first album, and a return to the music that he grew up on. He'll share that process here with you, and on The Wabash Cafe - his official website (briangreenway.com). Join him for the ride.
We Love Brian!!! Brian will be jamming solo and with Spellsinger, and hopefully we will hear even more of him around the bonfire later at night, laughing and telling his crazy stories.
Beltana Spellsinger is a female
singer/songwriter/guitarist/percussionist from the Southern Ozarks region of the
Beltana
Spellsinger will be traveling all over the Midwest and southern states this
spring with her best friend and sidekick Holly "Boom Boom
Valhalla" on the hand drums and percussion, and occasionally The Egg on
Bass, Johnny on guitars, and likely her occasional posse of wandering
troubadours.

Will O is the HPS of a welsh family and Gardnarian coven. She is a Master Gardner, herbalist, and green witch. She feels that part of the teaching is to create or words to inspire thoughts, once common, but now almost forgot. I thought I would share one of mine.
Droplets clinging to extract fragrant aromas
from flowered beauties,their meanings lost
The Rosemary whispers of Fidelity and Loyalty
The Salvia that is blue is saying its thinking of you
but violets blush with modesty and simplicity
...Wisteria with it's Youthfulness spouts Poetry
Red jasmine rants Folly and glee
The pear blossoms sings they are hopeful
since the Honeysuckle has such Sweetness Of Disposition
and the Crocus is cheerful in foresight
Anticipation eludes from the Bachelor Button
Primrose calls "I can not live without you"
...Queen Anne's Lace with it's delicate femininity
keeps it's Fantasy to itself
but the Pink Heather declares "good luck"
Thyme states the courage to act
The Bay merits reward
The Yarrow cheers for good health
So many tellings all around the couple
seated together unaware
Tulips sway seductively like a perfect lover
yet she bends to smell the roses
that he had just picked
all different colors so the meanings are mixed
still the cedar leaf waves "I live for thee"
as they walk crushing the dandelions
representing the oracles
of time,love, and faithfulness
just like the cockscomb with their silliness.
