Album Notes

One of the ways in which I try to be of service is playing harp, flute and hammered dulcimer in churches and meditation settings. People's requests and appreciation have resulted in this collection of mesmerizing and sweet melodies for massage, meditation and rest.

Several very interesting events occured in the past 'school' year (2004-2005). I was discovered as a hammered dulcimer player in the Central Texas area and played with two student choirs: one at TMEA (Texas Music Educators Assoc.) which is a huge deal, and also at Hurricane Harbor. I received immense accolades for my performances, and it was very gratifying to work with such talented (and mostly well-behaved) students. In fact, this has led to an outlet for my multi-instrumental talents - our new Angelic Strings program to teach kids about world instruments. More on our homepage: www.angelicstrings.com

I have a Ph.D. in Physics, and am now a full-time professional musician. With my wife (Belinda on viola) I play more than 50 weddings a year in the Central Texas area. And to be honest, I love learning new music, new instruments, and expressing Divine Love through the music that comes through me on a daily basis. I play in a local hospital every weekday, and love to be of service.

Thank you for your time, and please enjoy this CD and two new ones that will out in mid-Novemeber 2005 under my duet name: Angelic Strings. One peaceful CD, and one that jams and has Stairway to Heaven on it as played excellently on harp.

Best wishes,
Michael
