Solstice music
A great benefit MC’d by Pauline Le Bel at Cape Roger Curtis Saturday night, coinciding with the spring solstice. She hasn’t learned yet to overbook the talent for benefits to cover the no-shows, but Bowen has enough talented people besides Pauline like Corbin Keep, Resin, Shari Ulrich, a large contingent of rhythm from Shasta and her crew that kept the beat with their handmade drums. The rhythm section was extended to include a wood/skin kayak that upside down made a powerful drum with about 20 people all around it in unison.
The weather cooperated as well, rainy weather turned to late afternoon sunshine; spectacular view from Sundog Farm as the sun set through the lingering evening. Sue Ellen made two presentations that were well received, and the CRC Trust Society benefited from 200 tickets sold and many side donations from contributing groups from all over the island, too many to list!
