Oh, I also meant to say that I enjoyed the music too. I was wondering how a town of 171 people could have live music, but it is the “Gateway to Capital Reef” and it was a music festival. The talented musicians do give a great taste of what life is like in Torrey. What also blew me away was the incredible evening light that unfolded behind the musicians in the second video.

Guy, you have again reminded us what is important in community and relationships. Your later evening experience brings to mind how my father looked at photography. He felt that when he was tuned in, he was always led to the right place at the right time. Ansel Adams said, “Sometimes I do get to places just when God is ready to have somebody click the shutter.”

Thanks for taking us along your journey. We have a little country store just up the road from us that often hosts little concerts and musician jams – informal events a lot like the video from your night. It is magical to watch ordinary people transform with the power of their passions.

What I love about you, your writing and images is that you always convey the depth of your thought and emotions that you experience. Sharing it effectively is not many do. These are times that most of them miss. As I read this on my Wednesday morning, I can’t wait to hit the roads. Great image, beautiful music and fantastic write up. To me, this is the brain starter for the day!

“telling their stories, greater than life”. You have told one such story right here!

Enjoyed the description of the thunderstorm very much, reminds me of where I grew up; Colorado. I live in Hawaii now, and we rarely have thunderstorms. Enjoyed the post.

Absolutely beautiful writing, Guy, especially this::
“Life here is not easy for many, but right here, right now, there was an overpowering air of joy and contentment as if the moment is all that mattered and all else can wait for another time…”

Tequila at 3am??? How come you didn’t call me to join you?

Great music you linked! Larry Estridge has got soul! Loved watching that light transform behind Will Barclay & Steve Lutz!
