Pablo Eagle used to ride his motorcycle through the Santa Cruz Mountains regularly. For some reason one day he took his pickup. It was a beautiful day for riding, warm and dry, with no wind at all. A motorcyclist with a woman on the back passed him. “God, I wish I was on my bike,” he thought, just man and bike riding free. “Suddenly a branch as big as a small tree landed right in front of me.” It was almost like he’d had a spiritual vision. “I look up… it made me think about the drought…I’d seen it coming.” Another motorist stopped to help but wound up mostly watching. “All the adrenaline was in my body, and I just picked the damn thing up – I was holding it like ‘this’ in my arms – and I threw the log. Had I ridden my bike…it spooked me. Now I don’t ride so much.”
As singer/songwriter for Boulder Creek based band, Medicine Road, Pablo Eagle believes in healing through music. Medicine Road “spreads the love of life and healing into the wind so that brother wind will carry the healing tune all over the world.” Read more in the San Lorenzo Valley Post: On Spirit Wings

I met Pablo, by chance, when we shared at table at Don Quixote’s for a Moonalice show. He told me about his Medicine Road band, so a month later I made the trip from San Mateo to hear his band perform a set on a DQ’s show. Glad I did. My kind of band. Caught them again for a solo all night show in Sunnyvale. They rocked. It is a shame this band does not perform more often. Dennis
