poetry bus at Ken Sanders

poetry at Sanders
& her tanned shoulders
one after another
authors all
older than sound

checkmate meaning crisscross

just testing jests
the poet
should her answer call
off streaming creeks lakes books
books books voice in page
say heart or brain or joke &
some sound mumble tone
says softly seeming visit
or living here all mingling
stumbling down trusts the poet

he she mostly he
sings their say hear
& why worry
about being behind
time or even
ahead oddly posted often if
blest hymn

painting, performance, party, porch, picnic

On Friday we went to Michael Lucarelli's art opening "lyrical meditations, " followed by attending the John Flander's and Double Helix concert at Westminster (the inaugural performance for the series that we will play with Red Rock Rondo in May 2006). After the concert we went to Michael and Shayla's birthday party.

The next morning we spent the morning on the porch and in the garden, followed by a hike to Dog Lake from MillCreek Canyon with Phillip and Charlotte.

Flavia, Harold and Coco "in Utah this week"

On July 21, 2006 Kim Burgess interviewed us for an article on our home that appeared in the August 3, 2006 issue of "in Utah this week" magazine. The original online edition of the article (different from the print edition) can be found here.

(The following is a stripped down copy of the online version---which is different from the print edition---in case the original link disappears.)

HAPPY COINCIDENCE GUIDES COUPLE TO DREAM HOME

Home Tour by Kim Burgess

Synchronicity is not only the name of a great Police song, but a real-life experience that sometimes guides people to exactly what they need.

If you don't believe me, ask Harold Carr and Flavia Cervino-Wood. Two years ago, the couple were looking to expand from a 980 square-foot house to something bigger. They searched Emigration Canyon, but decided they were too far from nightlife and high-speed Internet. Luckily, the moon was in the seventh house and Jupiter aligned with Mars.

On a casual drive, Cervino-Wood spotted a lovely old bungalow and was immediately drawn to it. Ironically, it was the same home that Carr had admired for years on bike rides. "I would look up and see the porch and think that it looked great," Carr said.

death & rain

                 —for Andrew Voigt

another dead dad
summer—light rain
sounds on the rooftops

can hear death
bubbling up
—too proud

no one
makes it
til August

drifting in
& out of
sleep

clouds
cooler
sounds of trains

not a dream
a real live
loss

gone
is a word that says
goodbye

waiting
for lightning’s
thunder

(can I
even give this
to my friend?)

each small moment
makes a
day

even
the ones that
leave

the rain’s
thinking
water

the sun’s thinking
morning the day
after death

“after death”
so many millenium
answers

let’s make it
simple
absence

not here
not there
not

not yesterday
any
more

back to rain
rivers
oceans

small things
like sitting
in the mist

in the midst
of
forgetting

no
more
anymore

writing
while
waiting

to hear
him
move

even some
blue as the sun
moves through morning

take
your
time

echoes
thought’s
body

Red Rock Rondo (and Jasmine) in Zion Park (with Laura Bush)

Red Rock Rondo performed at the rededication of the nature center at Zion National Park. (Note: after we agreed to play we learned that Laura Bush would speak. Although we disagree with her husband's policies, the fact that she is spending a week with friends hiking in Zion Park is a good thing.)

Cowdaddies in Torrey, Utah

While rummaging about old photos I came across these pictures of the Cowdaddies playing in Torrey, Utah in the Spring 1996 at Barry Scholl's wedding.


1976 Inside/Outside

Inside/Outside

Another blast from the past. Sherm Clow sent me this picture of Inside/Outside, a group I was in back around 1976, featuring Merrill Clark, leader, composition and guitar; Brenda (Gibb) Vincent, violin; Divya Prem (Dan Gaard), drums; and me on electric and acoustic bass. I think this picture was for our performance at the Hansen Planetarium.
