Album Notes

How the CD 'Heart of the Earth' was born.

As a guitarist, singer and composer for over 35 years, I have enjoyed playing pop, blues, rock, country, Christian music and at private parties. Most of my music, including songs written for other people, consists of lyrics that are suggested by the music itself.

"Heart of the Earth" is a departure for me. With this instrumental album and other "movie theme" cuts that I've been writing for years, the music flowed into my guitar and diffracted into accompaniments by several other instruments, some of them unusual and even exotic. On this album, you will hear piano, guitar, synthesizers, percussion, strings, ambient voicing, gongs, ambient fluting, whales, birds, brass, and more.

I hope you find this CD pleasant, interesting, relaxing and uplifting and will share it with your friends and loved ones.

To me, music has an awesome ability to build bridges and heal people. My future plans are to work with music to help heal people spiritually. "Heart of the Earth" was smooth, flowing and most of all lots of fun and exciting to create. I look forward to composing a lot more instrumental music.

While "Heart of the Earth" is not a classic meditation CD, it will take you into a slower, more relaxed state of mind. The slow movement of the chord progressions helps massage therapists create an environment of peace and relaxation. It starts out with minor chords to set the relaxed mood. Next, it slowly moves into the matrix of the CD and ends with an uplifting song of celebration.

My thanks goes to My Lord Jesus Christ for the gift he has allowed me to have.

God Bless !
