Album Notes

These spiritual uplifting, inspirational songs were written by Sylvia
Partridge from the deep places of the heart and are performed by a
variety of excellent musicians.

“I Love You Dear” is a timeless love song that will take you back to
the days of your first pure breathless and enthusiastic love. Winning
first place in the Kaua’i Composers Contest in 2003, this inspirational
song is sung by the gifted Hawaiian singer Manulele Dudoit accompanied
by Mike Smith on guitar playing a bossa nova rhythm and Randy Carnevali
on bass.

“Beautiful Child” is about the warmth and guidance of love that arises
within us when our minds are focused on light instead of darkness.
Sung by Manulele, this spiritual uplifting song won first place in the
Kaua’i Composers Contest in 2004 with an accompaniment on harmonica
(Steve Dubey), guitar (Kekai Chock), ukelele (Sylvia Partridge), and
bass (Koko Kaneali’i).

“Maluhia” is a peace song– the peace that comes from forgiveness and
from stopping our minds, letting go of the mental chatter, criticisms,
and judgments that seem to rattle around in our heads at times, keeping
us in a state of agitation. Maluhia is the Hawaiian word for peace.
Accepted and performed at the Kaua’i Composers Contest in 2005, this
inspirational song is sung by Dolly Kanekuni, a talented professional
singer and voice teacher - Michael Ruff is on piano, Kekai Chock on
guitar, Sylvia Partridge on ukelele, and Trey Thompson on bass.

“Walking Home” is a song about being called to our home in love at the
same time that we are walking towards it, surrounded by many people,
all alive to the need for love and acceptance and all being drawn
together. Accepted and performed at the Kaua’i Composers Contest in
2005, this spiritual uplifting song was sung by Dolly Kanekuni, with
Kirk Smart on guitar and ukelele, Ed Blanchet and Sylvia Partridge on
ukelele, and Trey Thompson on bass.
