Sharon in Utah: Druid Arch
http://sharon-utah.blogspot.com/2011/06/druid-arch.html
Sharon Hawley visits the back-country of Canyonlands and Arches National Parks. Saturday, June 11, 2011. In the morning I left most of my ger behind and carried only essentials for the up-and-back climb. Elephant Canyon narrowed and steepened as I followed it deeper into the Needles, rock walls closing together on the sides, and in one place, Big Bird looking down. I see what looks like another needle ahead and wonder if I am close to the heart of the Needles. The apparent needle is closer now. Thanks Lo...

Musician. Educator. Explorer. I love visiting Maine and have been lucky enough to be able to collaborate with great musicians there on a regular basis! This past April was one of those great times! I spent the week rehearsing and also premiering a brand new piece that I love called Machine Shop, written by Dan Sonenberg for marimba and electronics where the electronics are all. Aaron Clarke mastered and layered all the guitar playing and it came out soooo great! 41 Fathead Percussion Setup.

Both pieces were great! Build a w...
