Beautiful indeed.

[Note: Not only is the music great, watch for the extraordinary aerial shots of Esalen.]
David Price's description from his MySpace page ( http://www.myspace.com/davidlprice ):
(Crosby Stills Nash & Young at Esalen - that's Joan Baez & Mimi Farina in red.) This was 1969 - right after Woodstock. I'm in there somewhere. Different times...
Perfect day of music, dance, and celebrating Interdependence
Thanks for the photos, Steven!
Looks like it was an enjoyable (and exotic) day!
Warmly,
Michael
