RE: Henry Kaiser Solo CD



Sounds good--I'll check it out.
I just returned from The Beloved Festival --hung with Glenn Smith, our looper bro and mighty vocalist, for awhile; saw so much beautiful music--Fanna fi Allah continue to rock my Qwalli world, Bhagavan Das is amazing--hope I can sing like that at...what, almost 70?! Usted Dildar Hussein, also mighty!
So much more.
I just was turned on to Berangere Maximin ---a French looper/found sound goddess--Check her out or maybe you have and I'm way late in the game.
Peace
