Tennessee 2012

The 2012 Tennessee Annual Rainbow Gathering was held in the Cherokee National Forest.

Well, despite the intensity of the heat and humidity (It’s not the heat - it’s the stupidity!) I managed to do some field recordings as much as the sweat allowed. This year's collection features 23 (auspicious, eh?) songs, poems, and randoms primarily recorded in and around the Green Path/Granola Funk Theater and Tea Time/Kid Village neighborhoods.

Thanks to everyone who contributed in some way or another to the gathering. Without the dedicated efforts, these recordings would never have been made. This goes to all the kitchens, main supply, water crews, and, well, you know who you are.

Be sure to check out the notes below the tracks. Some of them certainly require a little background. And there are some ExTrAs included (updated/added 2019)
