Meet Me At The Gates :: A Holiday at the Sea Spiritual Rendezvous

in , , , , , ,

As we enter Junior Year of the Pandemic, I have been looking outside of the expected places for comfort, assurance, and even meaning.

In those olden days of yore, the “Elders” or the “wise ones of a city” might meet at the city gate where they would gather to discuss life’s complexities and to offer advice to those who asked.

I know none of you asked, and I don’t claim to be wise, but if any of you ever wanted to meet at the gate, here would be my advice.

From the Wikipedia page:

“The Imperial Golden Crown Harmonizers are an American non-denominational all-inclusive soulful funky gospel band, that passes all revenues to charity. The band has raised several thousands of dollars over the years for central Texas charities, such as the SIMS Foundation and Habitat for Humanity. IGCH variously features Gurf Morlix, Nick Connolly, Sarah Brown, Paul Buddha Mills, Scrappy Jud Newcomb, Malcolm "Papa Mali" Welbourne, Shelley King, and Carolyn Wonderland. Also Charlie Prichard, Cindy Cashdollar, Lavelle White, Bill Kirchen, Kim Deschamps, Ruthie Foster, and Gary Primich (now deceased), have occasionally joined in. The group currently plays every month at Maria's Taco Xpress in Austin, Texas.”
