Since we don't have another Gathering of the Tribal Moon scheduled until September 30, I figured I'd pass along some other delicious musical announcements. A MySpace friend you'll want for your very own, amazing flamenco and an amazing acoustic band should hold you over for the next few weeks.

Please take a moment to check out my band's MySpace page. www.myspace.com/jamiestrangeband jamie strange has decided it was finally time to join the MySpace community following the completion of our exciting live demo video at Charter Oak Cultural Center in Hartford. It's the first time jamie strange has been captured live on a professionally-made video. Check out Immortal, live at Charter Oak here, myspacetv.com/index.cfm

Gathering of the Tribal Moon
Drummers, Dancers, Musicians and Others will gather around every full moon to participate in a truly tribal experience. We will start with basic Middle-Eastern rhythms to get the dancers moving and see where we go from there. Please bring instruments, the desire to dance or the enthusiasm to share in a tribal experience. Extra drums and other percussion will be available as well. Free!

Thank you, Chris
