Musical Guest: Cecilia Kirkland
Cecilia Kirtland is a singer-songwriter-guitarist who has spent most of her life performing (and teaching) music on Long Island, where she lives, as well as in NYC and the northeastern US. She became a Baba lover in the late 70’s, and eventually began attending meetings at Meher Baba House in NYC. Some years later, she met Bhau Kalchuri, who urged her to go to India. She made it to India in February 2004, and sang with Debbie Nordeen’s chorus for Baba’s 110th Birthday celebration. Cecilia read the English translations of Baba’s ghazals, and co-wrote two of the musical tracks for Naosherwan Anzar’s CD “Beloved Sings of Love”, and sang harmonies on Mark Trichka’s CD “Mandolin Walla”. She and Mark both appeared as musical guests at the Northeast Gathering in 2008, and in more recent years, she’s given a number of concerts at Meher Baba House.
