"Kon Tiki" - Voodoo Shilton

"Kon Tiki" is one of Voodoo Shilton's newest originals and there were problems hearing it last week but he played it again last night.  It comes from thinking of Thor Heyerdahl and what he did quite a few years ago.  I guess it was cool when Duran Duran sailed a mega-million dollar boat around the world ... but Heyerdahl did it by strapping some balsa wood together to make a raft and he sailed across the Pacific on it.  This wasn't just a stunt as it was of huge interest to anthropology.  (WIKI:  Kon Tiki)

The new song takes you out on that raft but this isn't during a period of storms and it's gentle, beautiful piece of work ... but you can't hear it.  You can only hear the song in Voodoo's live shows ... or you can buy a recording ... if you go to one of his live shows.  So, just in case I wasn't clear enough, come to Voodoo's live show, preferably at Cat's Art MusikCircus on Fridays but he plays all over the place.  I don't know if he records all shows but I know for sure he records the Friday night performance at Cat's.

At one point Voodoo said to let your mind expand and fill the whole Universe as that's what he's trying to do and he wants to take you with him.  If you stop talking, stop typing, and listen then he can take you there.  I'm guessing he might say you will take yourself there as, ma'am, I'm only the pilot.  He has that kind of way.

Maybe he's an axe murderer in the background, what do I know.  What is anyone in their deep dark stuff.  What we see is his shining light stuff and that's a very bright light indeed.
