The Alchemy of Politricks

The lazy waves at Rainbow Beach on Sunday afternoon provided the perfect backdrop for the sounds of Politricks, one of my favorite bands on the St. Croix music scene.

I've seen Glenn play bass and Tyler play the drums with various other bands here on island, and they always sound great. But when these two talented musicians team up with singer/songwriter/guitarist Sebastian, a different kind of alchemy takes place: three unique talents blend to create Reggae Jazz fusion spiced with a little Funk. The original lyrics are ardent and colorful, inviting you to dance, or to hang back and mellow out, depending on your mood.

My mood yesterday had me swaying on my seat while watching a beautiful mid-winter sunset.

New Year's Moon

This was the blue moon as it shone on St. Croix welcoming the New Year. For me, it is the harbinger of new creative ideas. If I have one resolution, it is to see those ideas come to fruition in 2010. Happy New Year!
