Grandmother Elspeth: “It all started with a favorite dream: having Emerald Rose sing at my birthday party! However, that seemed like a small and selfish wish for such a BIG BIRTHDAY– 81 years! Since the focus of both my private and public life is waking people up to their potential power and thereby shifting the future, I looked in that direction for an event theme. When we learned about the Tempest Smith Foundation, we found a kindred spirit, an organization compatible with our perspectives. A music festival (along the lines of the Clearwater Festival) seemed a good way to combine it all. Thus was born the idea of celebrating a birthday with ceremony, earth/environmental education, and music. With this we could achieve several goals:
- To get lots of folks together to network and form communities
- To encourage people of all ages to jam, perform, and enjoy great music.
- To offer challenging earth-centered, people-oriented workshops that were both entertaining and educational.
- To celebrate my 81st Birthday in a fabulous way!
“Come as a musician, scheduled or not, come as a workshop presenter, come as a songwriter, come as a vendor, come to have fun with people who are changing the world – one note at a time.”
