Oregon 2017

Welcome to Camp Don’ttouchyourthingtothething or sometimes known as this year’s collection of field recordings from the 2017 Oregon annual rainbow gathering. It was held near the town of John Day, Oregon in the Malhuer National Forest.

Once again, Kristen and I set up Story Glory, which is a place where folks could stop by and share sounds, songs, stories, poems, rants, rambles, riddles, rhymes, editorials, tutorials, memorials, complaints, blessings, prayers, incantations, yodels, what ifs, and other what nots (for the full Story Glory wish list listen HERE). The place/camp is a Gome Tent, where we set up a recording studio in the woods, if you will. Since we were not located on a main thoroughfare, it was less active than the previous year in Vermont. Instead, we focused on mobile recording, primarily in the trees behind the tent, near Rough & Ready kitchen.

Given the environment, it is likely I mistitled or uncredited a track so please contact me with a correction.

To assist you with your listening adventure(s), I have organized this year’s recordings by camp. Scroll away to find 108 songs, stories, poems, jokes, and what have you. Thanks to everyone who shared/has shared to this ever growing archive.

I offer a poem to you, me, and we..

~~~~~~~~~ Tangles Strings On A Bean ~~~~~~~~

We strive to become better writers of the written word
To loose upon this world the tongues of the scarlet mind
In an attempt to outwit the perils of dull dungeon dooms
We reach for the holy ink to enrapture in a triumphant wink
For the halcyon days we herald in these days that seemingly go by
Are saturated with splotches of divinities oxymoronic ephemeral
And who here can ever truly believe the seeker with timeless cries
That embodies the tricks of the trade for anyone who tells the tale
Of when the day gives birth to the decorative eyes of the night
Or when the nonsense of salvation becomes the anointed longing
Thrust upon the dusts of all the bones in our sacred heart
Like almonds that pledge their gems in spite of everything
Sweet rewards like the the prince of peace among life’s nectarines
Brought forth the apple basket bearing gifts from ten thousand tribes
All the myths abound in the galaxies of whatever we choose
So these words which go to the witch that is no witcher
Far away in the ether floats the riddle that has no stitcher
I seek of you what you seek in me though the seek seems unseen
In this voyage on the uncertain sea like tangled strings on a bean
