“Sycamore Trees“ by Cornelius Shinzen Boots on Taimu shakuhachi

Performed on a jinashi nobe Taimu shakuachi at the Sarah Strothers Benefit Concert: The Universalist Chapel, San Francisco April 19, 2013 This piece is originally an incredible, moody vocal piece written by Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch for the series finale of “Twin Peaks“ and was performed by the inimitable Jimmy Scott. It has been my favorite song of all time for 20 years and suddenly I realized, “This can be arranged for Taimu, in its original key as part of my Renegade Nature Music series.
