#7 - 22nd Dec 08 - The Christmas Show

Todays guests Elizabeth & Win Harper

A special Christmas show this week. Recorded live at the Varga Gallery in Woodstock during an opening of the Visionary Art Collective. Steve interviews those gathered there and we hear music from Mystic Ritual who played live. Thanks to the power of Skype the fact that Steve was snowed in and couldn't make it to Bard this Monday was of no consequence as it allowed the interviews with Elizabeth & Win Harper to go ahead as planned. So here we have the Christmas show - hosted in Conneticut, guests from Mexico and recorded in Woodstock.

Music: Fae Speaker- Chocolate Jesus,Mystic Ritual - Live @ The Varga Gallery, Charles Waltermeyer - Winter Song

Elizabeth Harper - Sealed with Love, Win Harper - Life Coach, Randal Roberts - all of this is for you, Alan Watts - Website
