Light On Dark Water

Weekend Music

Note: I'm posting this early because I'll be offline Friday and most of Saturday.

Somewhere around 1981 or 1982, at an outdoor arts festival in Huntsville (Alabama), I saw a troupe of dancers perform to this music. Not surprisingly, I don't remember anything about the dance, but the music was so great that I managed to catch one of the dancers as she was leaving and ask her what it was. My memory was better then than it is now, but still, the fact that I remembered the name until I found the self-titled album (which took a while) testifies to how much I liked the music. 

The whole album is excellent, though this tune is not necessarily representative: whimsical, tuneful, and often wistful. They released several other albums which I have not heard. You can read about the group here.

Personally I find the art work somewhat disquieting and recommend that you look somewhere else while you listen to the music.
