About this ebook
2013-14 I've written and produced four albums and am working on a fifth. Two;
"The river" and "Charleena" in 2013 and "The King of
The Fire", and "once Upon a Perfect Storm" in 2014, and am
working on "I'm in Love With a Dream". Many of my songs are ballads
with a natural order theme to them, I try to put meaning to them , tell a story
or have the listener stop and take pause. There is a pattern or creative
reality expressed in many of them with a philosophical alignment to Native
cultures.
Subjects include stuff like Eagles ,Rivers
,Storms ,Dreams, Battle, Love, Spirit, Fire, Wonder, Life, Epic Adventure, and
Overcoming or Conquering adversity through Natural Living. I find myself in
agreement with native philosophy and teachings
