Untarnished By Time




Peter Rowan: Land of the Navajo
w/ Vassar Clements, David Grisman, Bryn Bright & Herb Pedersen




The desert landscape is always at its best in the
half-light of dawn or dusk.
The sense of distance lacks: a ridge nearby can be a
far-off mountain range,
each small detail can take on the importance of a major variant on the countryside's repetitious theme. The coming of day promises a change; it is only when the day had fully arrived that the watcher suspects it is the same day returned once again--the same day he has been living for a long time, over and over, still blindingly bright and untarnished by time.
--Paul Bowles
