HELLO
BERET
GARDEN
THERAPY
This
album is my response to the 9-11-2001 tragedy.
After that event, I found solace working in my garden.
The six songs recorded in Spring 2003 and one song recorded
in Spring 2002 are a result of that therapy.
The final seven songs were recorded before garden therapy
in the early 1980's
LAST
MAN ON THE PLANET
I
wrote these songs while on location
working on a film in Savannah Georgia
in 1994 and recorded them in 1995-1996
SANTOSHA
I
recorded this album after spending a month at a yoga ashram in Northern
California. Orginal songs mixed in with my take on traditional Hindu
chants and Buddhist and Taoist and Christian teachings and a bit of
Paganism and New Age Maze Walking thrown in for good measure
Recorded in 2000

transitional period of my life
ORAL
SETS
In late 2003 I arranged for poets Doreen Peri and Lightning Rod
to
stand before the microphones in a Washington D.C. area recording studio
to record some of their poetry. They sent the results to me in L.A.
where I added music and soundscapes.
JOY
URCHINS
In
1974 Clay January, Zeke Durrell, Jack Hardesty and I
recorded 5 songs in Dallas, Texas.
17
years passed before we played together again.
We regrouped in Dallas in July 2001
and recorded 5 more songs.
