A small but very appreciative audience got an earful at the MARC on Groundhog 'a Day when Bruce Hayes brought his quartet to Moab Using traditional bluegrass instru- ments, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo and string bass, the ensemble from Crested Butte proved that they know how to use them the old-fas- h ioned way, blazing through such bluegrass war horses as The Orange Blossom Special and How Mountain Girls Can Love. But like so many young musicians who cut their musical teeth on the likes of David Grtsman, Darrel Anger, Bela F leck, and Jerry Garcias classic Old and In the Way album, these boys weren't content to stay at home in the hills of Kentucky Besides the aforementioned standards, they also performed songs and vignettes by Buch bluegrass stalwarts as Django Rheinhardt, Dizzy Gillespie, Diana Ross and Beethoven The crowd loved it Led by Hayes' pyrotechnic mandolin and soanng vocals, the band charged through two, sets of mostly original tunes with the athletic abandon of a defensive end zeroing in on a hobbled quarterback. Many of the songs are from Hayes two CDs, Pack of Dogs and Lunch. Fiddler Gary Mackey of Gatlinburg, Tenn., actually looked like a defensive end, standing well over six feet tall and packing enough meat and muscle to win a blue ribbon at the county fair. But the resemblance ended each time he stretched up on his toes to break into a fiddle jam. At times, his bow flashed with such ferocious speed and precision you could almost see the smoke rising off the strings. Whether or not he could actually set the fiddle afire, you could still feel the temperature rise in the room. By contrast, percussionist, guitarist and banjo player Lester Choy Kjbmxied by RSVP and (he Grand stood about four foot fourteen and could hide behind Mackeys fiddle bow with a friend But his solid percussion and banjo support, combined with excellent guitar leads, kept the bands sound rich, balanced and full. The silky string bass work of Jeff Reynolds rounded out the core group Moabs Sam Smith embellished the sound with his percussion chops. The crowd was content to sit and watch the show during the first set, and a dandy show it was. Along with his blazing licks and surprising rhythmic structures, Hayes also entertained by providing a lot of his own percussion. He patted, tapped and slapped his guitar, clogged like a demented lumberjack on a special acoustic sound board, and patted and pommeled his cheeks, chest and thighs in a percussive style that would qualify as felonious assault if he werent doing it to himself. For the second set a large part of the audience decided that they had been sitting long enough. They danced, clapped, hooted and howled right along with the band Crested Butte isnt too far away, so expect to see Hayes and his group back in Moab. Word of mouth alone should fill the MARC. Moab to host Dances of Universal Peace Feb. 12 evening of Dance of and Hotchkiss, Colo. Organizers suggest a $5 donation to help cover expenses for the evening. One hope for the evening is to bring together people who might be interested in starting a regular dance circle in Moab, joining the family of dance circles that meet around the world. The Dances of Universal Peace began over 30 years ago as a way to connect people with the spirit of God through simple music, words and movements in a supportive sacred environment. The Dances have been so successful in this that they have continued to grow and expand throughout the world as a way to bring people together spiritually from a wide variety of backgrounds, cultures and religions. Strong Dance communities exist all over North America, Europe and New Zealand and are appearing all over the world, including Russia and Central and South America.

Throughout the evening, the leader teaches the group the next Dance and often provides some background history as well. The teaching is done from a compassionate heart in a comfortable, quiet, and often sacred setting. The Dances were brought together in the late 1960s by Samuel L. Lewis (1896-1971- ), a Sufi Murshid (teacher) and Rinzai Zen Master, who also studied deeply in the mystical traditions of Hinduism, Judaism, and Christianity. His studies and his interest in sacred music and dance inspired him to begin creating a tradition that has grown steadily ever since. market rates.
