Album Notes

In an impersonal and seemingly insensitive world, we need more than ever an affirmation that WE are beautiful, and that our stunning natural world in which we find ourselves ( our country, our earth and our universe) is a stunning testament to our own importance to the Creator of it all ! These songs I have written are to lightly celebrate the innocence and whimsical sweetness of young love, to encourage those that are in love's transition, and to pay tribute to the dedication of patriots. "DIAMOND CITY" boasts the courage of tough pioneers that founded the Pacific Northwest and the City of Portland, Oregon with a bonus DVD "music video" included with the physical CD purchase, with historical photos depicting the proud founding of the city by "rugged men". "MOON OF SATURN" highlights the beauty of the universe being discovered at this very moment, with a second music video on the DVD of recent photos from N.A.S.A.'s Hubble Space Telescope that simply jolt us into humility and awe.
Please take a moment to listen and contemplate, and joy will be your reward! The song "YOUR SOUL HAS WINGS" ties it all together and was rated very high in an international song contest. It optimistically affirms that we were all made to soar !!! ( and please note: the full depth of sound cannot be fairly delivered to your ear and fully appreciated on your tiny computer speakers.... surround sound with bass somewhat elevated is best!!). Thank You All! John
