oh, the sweet honey... friday night, we went to see the grammy award winning sweet honey in the rock. it was the 2nd time i'd seen them, but the 1st for s...they are so very wonderful. the only instruments they use are the calabash and some maracas...other than that, they're strictly a capella, and do such amazing things with their voices that you forget the sounds are actually vocal in origin. and they're so inspiring. bernice johnson reagon (mother of toshi) did a lot of talking in between songs...including wise words about how ludicrous it is that people in this country (including our leaders and, of course, your typical flag-waving types) are so hell bent on seeking and destroying "THE ENEMY" that they forget that we're all human beings, on the same earth.
they're touring through spring '02, so don't miss the opportunity to see them live.
