BootyDharma: The Enlightened Path of Dancing to Live Rock MusicA number of community residents started jamming with electric instruments a few years ago.
This developed into our band called BootyDharma, which we The current lineup of the band is: John Botti on rhythm guitar, vocals, and keyboard (and occasional lead guitar and drums) Marc Tobin on lead electric guitar (and occasional vocals and drums) Joe Taylor on drums (and occasional keyboards) Sam Bascomb on bass Ann Roth on keyboards Rebecca Lombardi on vocals We often integrate other musicians who are here for courses, internships or to be residents into some songs. BootyDharma mostly plays at Lost Valley for anyone who cares to come by and listen, sometimes for courses and parties here. We have played gigs off site occasionally and wish to do that more in the future. Last year, Sam, our bass player, who is also Lost Valley's maintenance person, retrofitted a condemned cabin to live livable condition, and in the process made the downstairs a sound insulated music jam space/studio, and the upstairs his living quarters. While some people like our style of music more than others, for those who do enjoy it, it serves as a great for m of community building and enjoyment, and even those who don't lean towards this style of music appreciate the joy it brings to those who do. -Marc Tobin 11/6/09
