Human Beings are creatures who like to express and celebrate their connections. We relate to nature; animals and plants. We relate to people whether through romance, family ties or friendship. We have this indefinable connection with a higher reality, an other-worldliness. We give it names such as God, or higher self or divine intelligence.

A song is a way of expressing these connections. Sometimes it is about love and sometimes it is about when love fails. Sometimes it is longing, as the Other has not yet materialized. Sometimes there is an outrage at the way we treat nature or each other. I explore these worlds and want to take you with me. It is my way to connect with you.

All the songs are original. The style is mostly Folk, but I include other styles like Folk-Rock, Slow-Rock and even a latin beat for diversity. The song "Mistaken" is performed beautifully by Roberta Pearson. Traditional instruments such as piano, cello, flute, violin and trumpet enrich the sound, which will, I hope, give wings to your feelings. Enjoy...
