Ruscombe Brook and L.A. musician Devon Gundry

Tuesday evening saw me doing more leafletting in the wards - hard work in the dark to find some of the letterboxes - anyhow didn't manage to complete the Main Road before joining the Ruscombe Brook Action Group meeting earlier than planned as after we were to be treated to some music.....

Anyhow the purpose of the RBAG meeting was to share the outcome of the meeting on 22 December when we created something of an action plan (see earlier blog for details of that) - we talked some around that plus much discussions about other issues like drains and Puckshole which have been raised in this blog over the last week. So I wont dwell on all that....by 9pm it was time for music

Devon Gundry, a musician who lives in LA has been staying in Ruscombe for a few days and the Brook group were joined by him and others after the meeting. He shared some of his own songs and talked about how being a Baha'i inspired him and his music. Devon was wonderfully passionate and energetic with every song he played - some were set to beautiful spiritual words, others he had written himself - we finished with food and talk and even a free cd for some.

See his You Tube videos which include some of his songs and a link to his Myspace site - see here. He is heading back to the States now but says he may return in the future to Stroud as he had such a good welcome here.
