Memories of Sarah<\/p>\n
Music and Art:<\/p>\n

Sarah was a gifted musician, she could play saxophone, piano, harmonica and sing and likely more. For a time, when she would be in town, we had a regular get together in my music studio where she would join us with her sax, harmonicas and on the piano. We usually improvised but often tried out playing hits from our diverse tastes, Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits, the list goes on. In all cases, she would stretch her boundaries with me and music as we encouraged each other to do so. She was great at the harmonica, unapologetic of her piano playing but always a bit shy with her sax. It was an old instrument and if she didn\u2019t play it regularly, it seized up on her. She played it beautifully, hauntingly, as sax can be. A sense of holding the note and then letting it drift. The interplay between my percussion and her playing was always so great, so appreciated from both sides. Just sharing those moments of creation. We did a couple of sessions with our friend David Hatfield and his \u201cSinging Soul\u201d vocal improv workshops. A week of getting together and vocalizing. Another way of connecting through music.<\/p>\n
She brought our now dear friends Mick and Mary into our lives through music 13 years ago, a chance meeting at her studio, one conversation led to another. Mick and I continue to collaborate on numerous projects and they are dear friends to us.<\/p>\n

With art, there was, from moment 1 a deep connection between Georgina and Sarah. They were sisters of the same tribe and collaborated on and shared so many ideas. With me it has evolved between art, music, building, woodworking and sculpture. In every setting she has supported my efforts with such deep interest and support. Genuine discourse on the what, whys and hows. She would look me in the eye and tell me how she felt, typically full of compliments and support and always with the question of \u201cHow great did it feel, or was it the intuitive or the planned part that got you started?\u201d<\/p>\n
I loved the sharing with her, by her.\u00a0 I assumed she would always be there to do so with, that she was the tether to the real in a world of fractured realities. She always brought her curiosity and truly interested perspective to all conversation, nothing was off the table. I came to rely upon her for that particular way she had of seeing to the true center of the situation and not holding back with her opinion or idea. The real loss for me is her presence. Spending hours days nights with her on Thera, in Vancouver. I was blessed with her gift of her time. I so wish I could give more of mine to her as I feel I owe her so much more. She was so dear to me, such a friend, collaborator, mentor, chum so much I will never forget and always cherish. Fair well dear One!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
