March 2007
We have just finished our last show on this Southwest tour through Arizona and Southern California. We wanted to thank all of you for being a part of our musical experience. It was wonderful to have you all be so supportive to us. Without you our music would not be the same. Together we create a positive vibration so powerful that it can spread smiles and peace to many others on our planet.

In Tucson, we played the Casbah Tea House, Yoga Oasis & Tucson Yoga. At these shows we were blessed by the presence of some really special people. We definitely felt at home! At first it was pretty rough living in a cramped vehicle with all of our instruments and belongings. It was quite refreshing to have a nice outdoor shower, great vegan food, great times, internet, and a place to do our laundry right at our fingertips (thanks to Alan our ocean man)! Our brother Alan and his friends were so loving to us, providing us with the warm family vibes we needed to complete the rest of our journey. We wanted to give a special thanks to all the friends we made in Tucson with special regards to Debbie at Tucson Yoga, Alan and all the folks in S. Tucson, The Yoga Oasis, as well as Carol Ann & Staff at the Casbah.

While we were in Tucson we spent some time at the gem show purchasing fine gemstone & African beads. You can check out our jewelry page on our website to see some of our creations!:)

Our next stop was into the Amethyst Mountains of Patagonia, Arizona. There we played at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center. As we got there we were greeted by Michael, who showed us all around the beautiful premises. Beautiful trees, cacti and nature surrounded the sacred structures of this community. We were taken into the tenderly loved organic gardens, living
quarters, sweat lodge land, healing treatment rooms/areas, the raw cafe, the Oasis Store and the meditation temple. This tour through the land was very refreshing to us, to see all of the wonderful things accomplished by the motivated and willing community members. Our show was great there and we met some really wonderful friends from all over the world! :) You are all in our hearts and we are very blessed to meet you all. Special Thanks to Michael & staff.

Then...back on the road again to So Cal for one more show at Jim Bell's venue in Ocean Beach. There we played at Jim Bell's "Benefit for Sustainable Living". It was a very intimate show and we met many kind people who were very supportive of our musical movement. We felt a very powerful energy at this show, and it was so nice to be back by the ocean~! At this show we played a strong set opening up for Arjun & Guardians. Big thanks to Kennedy, Preston, and Jim Bell. Also heartfelt thanks to our sister Katherine for setting up the booking of the shows on this tour and helping us in so many ways.

Now we are HEADING BACK TO MENDOCINO COUNTY! Currently we are writing music like mad and in the process of recording our first CD together. It will be released in a few months, we will keep you posted. Thank you to everyone for being here for us you are in our hearts.
