Album Notes

My perfect wife, our 8 year old son and I are "living The Dream" in the beautiful Mountains of Montana. Our dependence on and connection with each other, as well as Mother Nature, is never in doubt and we are thankful to be in this beautiful and peaceful place.

Three songs on this CD, "The River," "Montana Sky," and "When the Mountain Breathes," reflect the inspiration that can be found here. "Did Love Find It's Way" is about waking with the emotions that accompanied me the morning after I met the woman who is now my wife. I am very thankful that love found it's way to her as well. A strange familiarity with the oldest city in France, Vienne," lead me to write "The Stone." These are peaceful songs that are intended to convey love, aesthetics and beauty.

The other tunes come from a different place...History tells us that we live in "the" time of unsurpassed luxuries, freedoms, and comforts...yet these have become hard times. The unnecessary pain and suffering in the world compels me to write about the human condition. I've been asked "how can one guy make a difference?" Some might feel it is presumptuous of me to think that I could. I feel that if we all assume it is our duty to make a difference, then together, we WILL. There are the selfish, self-righteous few, who dismiss any attempt to do anything positive, and for those folks, "I Aint Got The Time." If the idea of being another reason that "God Sings The Blues" will help someone be a bit more responsible for their life and their actions, then this song will have fulfilled it's purpose. If "Everything" results in one less person suffering from the delusions that accompany being spoiled as a child, then I've helped someone. If "Change" can bring hope to another lonely American, then America might be one American stronger. If "Witch Doctors and Wise Men" helps another parent escape the manipulation of a public school system that has been infiltrated by "Big Pharma" then another child will have a chance and this project will have truly been worthwhile.

I hope you enjoy the music and I welcome your feedback.
