DESCRIPTION:
Raw Earth members and friends perform "Rivers of Babylon" in memory of Raw Earth drummer/keyboard player Michael Martin, at his memorial service in St. Louis on July 25, 2012. At the podium is Michael's son, Michael Martin Jr. Performers include drum master and mentor Ed Brown; band members Jan Marra, Ivan Martin, Scott Miller, Rick Costa, Dan Higgins, Steve Lewis, and Seth Weissman; former member Ken Laux; and friends Ben von Harz and (not visible) Bob Schnieders. Oddly, the camera insisted on recording a narrow shaft of light (not visible to those in the church) focused on Michael's drum, in front.
