Shifting Times (December 2008)

We can't expect to stand still; we're living in Shifting Times. Onwards, Forwards...

With the dawning of another year, we mark the historical events which have shaped our world with repeated upheavals as well as tremendously unbelievable changes in the faces that represent our declaration of power to the people "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquillity, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America". It is written in the preamble to the articles of congress that define the direction of our nation, that we the people each have a say in the way that we lead our lives. While these ideals may bring hope for a better world all around us, this indeed is the kind of high order that will be challenging, to say the least. Still, despair leads us nowhere, only hope gives us the strength to cope. The struggle continues, yet a new day is on the horizon.

Magically there is music for comfort, reassurance and for rejoicing. My next album, planned for release in the spring of 2009, will include all the various flavours, spices, spirit and heart that has influenced me all of my life, from Gospel to Country & Western, Jazz to Funk, Soul to Rock'n Roll, tinged with Blues as well as a taste of Classical Music for good measure. Beauty shines its brightest through unity.

You can visit MySpace for more details about my career, but do feel free to peruse this official website for gig dates, photos, recording history, etc...

May we all keep the faith and never give up on hope, peace and love, in the light of a sunrise...
