To explain a bit (please read!!)- I am at once happy and yet not content with these songs. I am happy in that I have some record of singing. At the same time, I am frustrated, because I had only THREE hours at a recording studio to do ALL THREE VOCALS AND ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTALS. This meant that I had to everything in one pass- no re-takes!!
Many professional musicians in a studio (and I have literally lived in three different recording studios in Los Angeles)- can spend many days on one song alone, re-doing it and re-doing it to perfection so that all the glitches are out.
So you will hear glitches in my songs- *shrugging* Considering that I had only had one take for everything, I'm amazed it came off as well as it did. Professional artists with a lot of money get to re-do their takes until there are no flaws left.
I have only one request- when you hear the songs, please accept them in the light of this information I've just shared considering the circumstances of recording, and do not offer critical feedback, please, because it's not welcome. I only had three hours for all three songs, and personally I am amazed that I did as well as I did considering all the tracks that were laid down with only one chance each go.
My philosophy is that we all of us are together in the Circle of Life- all ideas, religions, peoples, plants, animals, humans, planets- all interconnected.

The first thing I would do is LISTEN. If we are all ever going to help one another, it can't happen from an old "Power-based" system, but from an equality-sharing, empowering consciousness.
What/who changed my life and why
Lots of events and books have changed my life- a UFO encounter, "The Emerald Forest", "The Last Wave", Thom Hartmann's books entitled "The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight" and "Unequal Protection"- the Dalai Lama, Gandhi, Martin Luther King
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
- -- John Kenneth Galbraith; also;"Whether it is under the guise of survival and self-defence or directly
expressed through dominion and greed, the failure to recognize the common humanity shared by us all lies at the heart of our difficulties. To overcome it, we should begin to develop, from the level of the individual through that of society to the world at large, what I call a sense of universal responsibility; a deep respect for every living being who lives on this one small planet and calls it home."
