Double the Love, Double the Peace, Double the Fun.
Live from the Rainbow Gathering, Cherokee National Forest, Tennessee
July 5, 2012 11:00am
Recorded on-location in the forest of northeast Tennessee, Radio Bob and Japa bring you a live and spirited version of the Love and Peace Hour, an authentic and unique experience from the National Rainbow Gathering, a huge campout in the woods which takes place around the 4th of July in a different part of the country every year.
This week Japa and RB brave the bugs, humidity, and smelly hippies to bring you and up-close and personal report of this annual gathering of love and peace. Good times, man.
Community kitchens, clay ovens, clever water filtration systems, trench-style shitters, this gathering is a good example in community living and sustainable practices - not to mention love and peace!
Everywhere you went, you'd hear, "Lovin' you, sister! Lovin' you, brother!", and the occasional, "Random pocket trade?" Empty your pocket contents into your hand and blindly trade it for whatever pocket contents your friendly rainbow brother has to offer.
"Besides quinoa, steamed greens and celery, I mostly offered up songs," says Japa. "Taking requests, winging newly-learned covers, and dusting off moldy oldy originals. I pretty much had my guitar with me everywhere I went."
Catch a piece of the action from one sunny afternoon when Japa pushed record on the ole Zoom H2n to capture a riveting 60 minutes of the 2012 Rainbow Gathering to comprise this week's *thrilling* episode of The Love and Peace Hour with Japa.
and so...now presenting...in the spirit of newly-learned originals, requests taken, and moldy oldy originals, Japa and Radio Bob are *proud* to bring you...
"Over the Rainbow" Judy Garland
"That's Amore" Dean Martin
"Crazy Over You" a Japa original
"Summer of '69" Bryan Adams
"Jack and Diane" John Cougar Mellencamp
"Uncle John's Band" Grateful Dead
"Crave City" another Japa ditty
"Aime" Pure Prairie League
"Old Man" Neil Young
"Mercedes Benz" Janis Joplin
hope you enjoy, especially when the melody gets rough, the tune is unknown, but the song just keeps on going...
and tha-the-the-thuh-the-thuh that's all, folks...
