I love the creative energy that just exudes from you and your work. YOU inspire!! I am really, really honored to be a part of your creative myspace world. Thank you for leading me here. . . and for all of the wonderful comments. :)
Saw you in Stabitha a few years ago and it was awesome. We are friends with Robin (formerly Crave magazine) I just realized that her new grand daughter has the same first name, as you LOL. Saw your picture on her myspace and had to add you. Glad to see your doing well. Thanks for the add.
As the Hutsul people say in the Mid-Carpathian Highlands (in their own language) 'Let's drink because we can, let's sing because we are drunk, let's dispose of our enemies while we are in such a way that we will not remember that we are responsible for their demise!'
ADara Hope you're well Lady. Looks like we will be up in Portland Thursday March 19th. I listened and loved all the songs you have up. When did you write Sparrows? Say Hi to Toby.
Hope you and your fans enjoy this special poem of mine:
Horizon Beauty
Sunset in the horizon Another day ready for rest Orange light blaze backdrop Silence, beauty, reflections… Before we say goodnight Peace, love breath of fire Has been laid Time to close those warm solemn eyes And with tired lips, kiss the world Good day.
your harmonies w/ chris on the new song "you know why"....so beautiful.....like aural rubbins! and sweet piano work! look forward to all that comes from you in the coming years!
By the way thank you for adding me. You are incredible. I really like your music. You have a great voice. By the way. Really liked the photo of you I noticed on another page. Precipice has such great guitar. I liked the line, just let me fall. Your piano on Patchwork is beautiful. I like the lyrics. Anyways take care, Jere
Hello. Thank for the presence. Beautiful the melodies and the use of dual voice in 'Sparrows' and' Patchwork soul '. Very intense 'Whispers' and' Angel ', good the refrain of' To sleep to dream '. Really compliments for the wonderful voice.
Really like Patchwork Soul! Great sentiment, awesome vocals on the verses mostly the feeling the higher harmony voice gives it, serene melody and love the classic guitar fills. I can also relate to the subject...“makes me who I am today”.
