Recorded on Halloween night in 1979, this pairs up Wells and Guy in a fashion that hasn't been heard since Hoodoo Man Blues, their first, and best collaboration. Solid backing by the Philip Guy band (Buddy's brother) makes this album a rare treat. ~ Cub KodaDown Beat (12/93, p.41) - 4 Stars - Very Good - "...finds Junior and Buddy on familiar and wholly congenial turf....Wells' harp...shines here amid the sparse sensitive accompaniment of Buddy's crack band...Buddy himself has seldom played better..."

Cool John FergusonCool John Ferguson is the Director of Creative Development for the foundation. He helps artist develop their material so when they go out to perform they have an excellent show to present. Tim met John in Beaufort, South Carolina in 1995, in 1998 John moved to Pinnacle to support the work of Music Maker. He currently resides in Hillsborough and works closely with our visiting artists program. He was born on Saint Helena Island off the coast of South Carolina. His mother is of the Gullah people and John grew up with the old ways all around him. His first guitar was a Harmony #1 with a one-coil pick-up, two knobs, and a Marvel amplifier. He still remembers the shape and look of it and the way it made him feel. He learned to play by listening.He is uniquely equipped for the task at hand. Born December 3, 1953, he has been playing the guitar since age three. At five he was playing church music professionally, often out-seating musicians ten times his age. For three years he was a featured entertainer on the Low Country Sing on channel 5 Charleston TV, appearing with his three sisters (the Ferguson Sisters), a popular gospel trio. He was also featured on stage every morning at school, where the principal found that live music kept the students civilized before the start of class. In the seventh grade he was a mainstay of his high school band and chorus. Around this time he began what was to be a lengthy association with Earl Davis, his music teacher. John became a fixture in the band room, where Earl taught him music theory and charting and John learned to play every instrument in the room. In the tenth grade John formed his first band, the Soul Connection, playing rhythm and blues at school functions. In his junior year he attended the first integrated high school class in Beaufort and formed an integrated band, the Plastic Society, venturing into psychedelic pop music and beginning to play club dates. Throughout this time John played guitar and piano at a minimum of two church gigs every Sunday. One day an itinerant preacher rolled into Beaufort in a rusted out '49 Chevy. His name was Reverend Ike "You can't lose with the stuff I use" and he soon set up shop at the United House of Prayer on Duke and Haymore. He hired John for a two week gig and immediately attracted large crowds with his peculiar philosophy of personal ...

Windsongs is a CD that practically made itself. I was together in a recording studio with three of my friends, and these pieces just played themselves. The first piece we recorded brought such a strong fragrance of meditation, we just couldn't stop. The santour player, who is a wonderful musician, simply suggested a new raga (Indian scale) and then we had an instant and beautiful structure to play with, the results are astounding. The flute soars over the swarmandel (Indian harp) as it delicately picks out melodies. The santour taps out its melodies so sensitively. Magic happens.The first piece is called Megh, and is a raga that is traditionally played during monsoon; it flows, runs, and ebbs. The second piece is called Shakti, Shakti being the feminine aspect of power. This piece simply sparkles. Then we have Bairagi, which is a night or early morning raga. The word bairagi means a desireless person, one who has renounced the world successfully. This piece of music takes you deeply inside yourself.The last piece, Malkauns, is also a night or midnight raga, and gently brings the listener back to the everyday world.This CD is perfect to play while making love, giving a massage, or just playing in the background while you go about your normal activities. It's calming message never gets old. This music is really timeless. Now for a little biographical information:I was trained as a professional musician, which involved practicing the flute for hours a day, playing in an orchestra and teaching in a University and College. Things changed radically when I met Osho, and found a new way to have fun in life! I became a spiritual seeker. Alongside being a successful street musician in Rome, I made almost yearly visits of a few months to the Osho International Commune ...
