This is one of the "Spoken Word" pieces that has often been requested. It represents some of many aspects of walking a "higher" path...and being KEWL with it...(i.e., being able to
"go with the flow" by keeping it all "in balance".)

Blending music with "spoken word" poetry is a "signature" of what I do. Peaceful, passionate performance of the message...blended with somewhat "hypnotic" music and vocals to help people get "in the zone" with us...and let the message speak directly to their heart and lift their spirit.

I'm looking forward to taking this to "a whole 'nother level" when joined with musicians who can help me make it "sparkle". (To be clear, it's not about me. It's all about the message. All about the Love. I often feel it shinin' through me. I want to always stay "open" to that. Whoever writes the songs. That way I can be a voice...with other passionate musicians...that reminds us and others of what...deep-down...we already know. And yes, I'd love to collaborate with other musicians who love to make music like I do... for a "higher" purpose...but not for a religion or dogma. Just bringing people together to point them to their deepest truth--what they "know" deep-down. And gently lifting them up to be reminded of the Love they are that will enable them to follow their bliss and find their own true peace. If that includes a specific religion for them, great. But my goal is to honor the essence of people, their spirit, and lift their heart to a higher, more joy-full place...no matter what their path.)

(Have you ever seen Alanis Morisette's "live" concert performance with "Story Tellers"? The interconnectedness of artist, band and audience in that video is beautifully off-the-charts. That's what I envision. Where we can gently lift people to heights of bliss and greater awareness and appreciation for life and love...by what we do.)

ABOUT

"Words to lift the Spirit; Music to nourish the Soul"

Passionate singer-songwriter / performer of "soulful folk" music... and...

Extremely lyrical,
"performance"-style "Spoken Word" poetic messenger...who loves to mix it up by blending the gentle, yet surprisingly passionate spoken elements with some meditative, yet "soulful" music (which, among many other elements, presently makes much use of keyboard / synth and harmonic "chant" and vocals.)

To this singer-songwriter, lyrics are "everything". But just the right blends of most acoustic and some electronic sounds are passionately pursued to blend with these most meaningful of lyrics.

Along with some vocals, it's these "blends" that I hope to create through some very hearfelt, inspired, yet often playful, "in the zone" collaborations.
