Ep #101 with Milford Graves - A Celebration (part 2)

Milford Graves was a master drummer, herbalist, acupuncturist, martial artist, teacher, scientist and inspirational force of nature. He was my mentor ever since I met him at Bennington College in 1974. I studied drums and rhythm with him and he instilled in me a passion for World Music and native plants. I owe Milford a debt that I can never repay. He touched so many people so deeply and some of his students and friends share their memories of him on this episode. He passed on Feb 12, 2021 and we all miss him dearly. This episode is Part 2. Part 1 is episode #99. Please share with your friends and people who knew and loved Milford Graves.

"Heavenly" is a pop song I wrote with Kristian (Boots) Ottestad (pictured). It's an over the top love song. He's Norwegian. We wrote some other great songs including Expecting A Miracle which is the title track of one of my CDs.
