Liner
Notes
Colin plays Don Musser 6 and 12-string guitars, as well as a nylon 12-string from Jeff Elliott on "Dancing Strings" (Thanks Don, Jeff and Cindy!) "Curious Species is a hybrid of world music and West Coast jazz. Colin's guitar and piano combine with Airto Moreira's tribal percussion to create a rich acoustic diversity that reflects Colin's concern and love for cultural and biodiversity."
"A special thanks to: Premdip for his time, talent, and friendship, Douglas Kolberg for his humor, Peter Madlem for his valuable contributions and great playing, Michael Karagosian for his knowledge and patience, my father, Warren Douglas Dent, for all his help, my sister Dorothy and my mother Nancy Farish Basham for their continual support and affection. A very special thanks to Melissa Nelson, my dearest friend and beloved."
"Perhaps we can discover together a sustainable, compassionate, and creative way of life where all curious species would be welcome."
"I have inhaled Jeffers' salt sea on that glassy granite,
I have crawled through the dripping moss of the Quinalt river,
Mojave sand flesh has shown me its veins pulsing on the crusty bajada.
Still there is this desire not just for the feel of an arm like a cat's tail around my sleeping soul,
Like a snake awakening the serpent within me but for that tete-a-tete:
Fir sap rearranging my fingerprints eating salal 'til my mouth bleeds blue or picking up the skeleton of my fear."

Music without words means leaving behind the mind. And leaving behind the mind is meditation.
Meditation returns you to the source. And the source of all is sound. — Kabir
