A gathering of friends,
both old and new, in celebration of the most unique and remarkable life
of our most dearly departed Daniel Baylin Coddington,
wizard of Millbrook woods, pied piper of Saigon nights, and all-around
phenomenal human being!
An eclectic mix of musicians and artists
who were friends with Baylin during his time in Saigon would like to
take the stage in tribute to our brother and in honor of the love he
shared with us all. An all-day music extravaganza including a very
special, long-awaited, one night only
reunion set from Ugwae (a musical collective which
Baylin was a part of while living here in 2011-12)
Musical Line-up:
12:50-1:30pm - Gypsy Jazz
1:35-2:20pm - Joy Oi! (the artists formerly known as Sunless)
3:50-4:20pm - Applesauce
5:00-5:25 - afinedeadsound (acoustic duo)
5:30 - Memorial Service (open mic for stories, remembrances, prayers,
quips, quotes, songs, ideas, equations, compositions, recipes, sketches,
confessions, statements, jokes, skits, etc)
6:00 - 7:00pm - Freckled Gypsys

All
proceeds from this event will be donated to the Coddington Memorial
Scholarship Fund, begun by his family. Baylin's voracious intellect informed his interests
which were diverse and varied. Spiritual gardening and the use of
native plants, ethnobotany, ethnic foods, music, art, performing and
writing music, and transpersonal psychology were all subjects he was deeply
interested in and included in his life. Everyone who loved Baylin knew
he was many things, but mainstream wouldn't describe any of them. To
honor his originality our plan for Baylin's memorial scholarship fund is
to help young people who share his less traveled passions and find
themselves in need of funding in order to educate themselves in these
areas.
