About the Ceremony

“The corn spoke and we listened. The Spirit of the corn said it must be planted in Santa Fe for all people.” Twenty years ago, the corn spoke to Grey Antelope (T’dohn tsay) a Tewa Native from Kha P’o Oweenge (Santa Clara Pueblo).  “I  am the life of the people”, it said. Grey Antelope started to plant corn around the plaza in Santa Fe. Grey Antelope passed on from this Earth but the corn continued to speak. “Let the kernels of corn carry the voices and concerns of the people to Mother Earth as you plant. In return, Mother Earth will respond with a harvest for all people to see.” Now Grey Antelope’s brother, Cloud Mountain (Okhuwa P’ing) carries on the tradition his brother began. Everyone who attends will have an opportunity to be in harmony and connection with the corn and Mother Earth and to participate in some way.”

Now On Sale!

We announced that Adrian Legg will perform live at the Garrett’s Desert Inn on Tuesday, March 12, 2013!  And now tickets are available for this awesome show on Brown Paper Tickets. There is limited seating available, so snatch up your ticket package up before they are gone.

Special rate of $79.00 plus tax and will waive the parking for a queen, double queen, or a king room if attending the Adrian Legg performance.  Rate is subject to availability and they can give us their name to put on a will call list once they have booked their room.

Time: 8pm

$20.00 at the door, or put your name on a will call list by calling Garrett’s Desert Inn at 505-982-1851 or go to www.brownpapertickets.com/.

Described by Audio magazine as a “kind of cross between Robert Fripp and Garrison Keillor,” Legg is a genuine entertainer who excels at not only painting pictures if not frescoes and telling stories with music but also wittily regaling his audiences with tales from his life and travels and his cogent and often oblique yet thought provoking observations on a spectrum of topics. It’s all part of his dedication to making his performances a full-blooded emotional experience. “If you haven’t shared a laugh with someone,” he insists, “you certainly can’t share a tragedy.”

So it’s no wonder that popular BBC radio personality Andy Kershaw says of Legg, “Quite simply, there is no one else like him,” citing his “dazzling technique and equally large dollops of spirit, humor, passion, eclecticism and spontaneity.” For his part, Legg appreciates all the praise, but views his mission as far more basic, and more than anything else an expression of his soul and humanity. “I don’t see what I do as particularly eclectic; I see it as perfectly normal. In terms of the music that has gone before me, I simply reflect my forebears like every other musician.” The results of that approach, however, are simply irresistible and unforgettable.
