(of <a href=http://www.andor.org/band/>oxytocin high</a>) are to blame for invoking 
"lazarus" during the braiding-circle jam session.  aslan is to blame
for bringing vicka's guitar, and knowing her way too well.  elizabeth
stone and victoria landgraf provided particularly excellent jamming
(as i suspect others did as well!).  music and joy went on late into
the night....aslan blessed us for "music and joy", and so far that's
come true!
