Here's a look playing with @vincentpiercesmith on #cajon, where we play a pertinent song to the times, "Sound of Silence" by #Simonandgarfunkel Thanks for the great times together Vin and @nimi_artt Hello Darkness, My Old Friend... Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence . In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence . And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share No one dared Disturb the sound of silence . "Fools" said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence . And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words of the prophets Are written on the subway walls And tenement halls" And whispered in the sounds of silence . ~ #Simonandgarfunkel ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSBsmH5NZFw

We had planned to cover Richie Havens song, Freedom in honor of his passing. It turned out that Mahanrishi had a nice picture dedication to him on stage, and that Siri Om Singh had also been covering the song. So we decided to improvise it and see what happened when both of our versions came together. We invited Siri Om Singh to sing with us and heres what ensued.
