Scotland Tour 2007
The first album,"Mended Again", was released in 2003 and it got picked up by Alooga, an Indie station in Hamburg, Germany and at KMUD in California. It was also very well received by many of my friends. Some of them in the music world, notably Mick Jones, (founder of Foreigner)encouraged me to take things further.
The second album, "Head Over Heels", was released in 2005. Airplay in a number of European countries led to a tour in Scotland in August '05 for the benefit of Cairn Mhor Childcare Partnership of Fife. Things have continued to move forward since.
My third album, "Second Sight", was released in April, 2007. Lots of good things are happening including this year's '08 sucessful fourth tour in Scotland (check out slideshow) and connections to other charitable organizations here in the states.
TRIPLE/QUADRUPLE THANKS to all of the fans who come to the shows and the people all over the world who hear the songs and make them come alive here in the States and in Scotland, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, and Serbia-Montenegro...And one more thing: The project has been blessed and supported by my teacher Lama Norhla Rinpoche, abbott of Kagyu Thubten Choling Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Wappingers Falls, NY.
