Pure excitement starts with building wind and thunder. Indian flute wails a plaintive cry, tabla drums dive into a galloping groove, and the organ-synth theme charges in. Connie's mystical words pour forth, and Mark's sensual harmony chimes in, for the ride of your life. Then -- "history begone; everything is new and right..." echoes, liquid-like, forever. |

A VISIT FROM THE DOLPHINS came about after a personal meditation session. Suddenly a powerful, positive energy felt as though it were swirling around me, and I heard triumphantly ecstatic music soaring around in my head. It sounded far too difficult for me, an untrained musician, to play. But I felt inundated by the kinesthetics – like dancers joyfully sweeping a reluctant participant onto the floor – and found myself at the piano, surrounded by mental images of playful dolphins "nosing" my fingers forward into finding the joyous chords and progressions. Later I asked Mark to kick in on drum set, and together we came up with a track of exultant percussion that totally enhances the joy and power of this piece. At one of our performances, a woman asked us to please just record that one number over and over on a tape for her. It took about five takes, but we captured the energy. After looping it on the recording three times for our friend, we then decided to see how well we might do on recording some other numbers – and our Prairie Dolphins album was born. | MP3.com CD: Prairie Dolphins - buy it!
