Listen to this sample section from a track off the third album about the fine art of denial, fashioned into its own art form. Everyone has a blind spot they don't see unless they get the courage to tear off the blinders and get exceedingly honest. Then again, many choose a safe familiarity over true happiness...and perhaps their purpose is to serve as the greatest example of what not to do. Music co-written by myself and Russ, with him on guitar. |

Hear a short sample from this song inspired by something I witnessed while in Indonesia on a sabbatical a few years ago, was the first songwriting I did on keyboard. David added viola, Roger-electric sitar, Joseph-bass, and Robert-percussion.

This rather ethereal track off the first CD, tells the story of what a DEVA is and how they come to exist. (Not to be mistaken with a DIVA- big difference!) This piece is about rebirth and regeneration, and was actually inspired by a place I learned of as a child called Findhorn, in Scotland. |

This is the most feminine of all the poems that appear on "Dipping Into Indigo" and is inspired by the artist's lifelong fascination with mermaids. Close your eyes as you listen, and imagine yourself sitting on the sea floor among the coral. |
