On Thursday we did two school performances in Navajo Indian Reservation land near Shiprock, New Mexico. The kids were really nice; we enjoyed playing for them and they had lots of questions for us. Most of them brought guitars, and asked us to sign their instruments afterwards. Our evening show was in a beautiful theater in Shiprock.
Driving through this reservation land is interesting but also a little sad. This is one of the poorest areas in the country; most people here don't even have running water. The people are engrained in a rich Indian culture. I could see this during our performance: during sound check they cleaned up the stage area for us. But when we hit the stage for the performance I noticed a stone corn grinder, placed in front of us, in the front middle of the stage. And the monitors were carefully covered with Navajo blankets. I don't know why, but the stone tool placed in front of us seemed to give me some energy and focus during the performance.
