2010 One Sky Band

In my travels, people often ask me, "Why is your band called One Sky? Why are there always different musicians each year?" Well, it's like this. Each year, when one tour finishes, I get out my address book and start connecting with musician friends, seeing who has the time, the energy, and the enthusiasm for the next year. Musicians are like anyone else. They have the same car payments to make, the same job obligations to their employers - not to mention their girlfriends! So the main thing is availability: Who can afford to take time off and be on the road away from home for one or two months at a time. Also, one of the perks about taking care of the music in the Osho Commune for many years was I got to meet hundreds of talented people from all over the world. In other words: I have a big address book.

About the band title, I tried this name and that over the years and finally realized: Though the musicians may be many, the music is one. One Sky says it all. And I always seem to end up with the most amazing bands each year. Different combinations of people, yes. But always amazing. Priya, organizer for the New York event, will laugh when she reads this. Year after year, we look at each other, shake our heads, shrug our shoulders and say: "Can it get any better than this?" And it does. Next year's band never fails to take it up a notch.

Life's lessons for me are in trusting and watching. Having said this, with a dash of patience, soon this page will be filled with photos of the wonderful individuals who will certainly make you dance and sing like never before. This much I can promise you.
