TENDER HEARTS SUPPORT PACKAGE

For centuries, artists of all kinds have turned to their supporters for help in the financing of their art.  As I have over these many years, I look to you, my fans, my benefactors, to help me bring, once again, yet another musical project to fruition.  Your generous purchase of this package will make it possible for me to record, manufacture, distribute, promote, and tour this next CD, Songs of the Soul, which is scheduled for release this Spring.

These songs have arisen from necessity, and are, by their nature, Songs of the Soul.  I feel they could be viewed as spells, in their way, or food, or medicine - a balm, perhaps, as is the nature and power of music.  My great hope is that they are ready to do their work in this world in which we find ourselves.  

The songs need your help to become a reality, to get polished until they shine, and then gain wings and fly.  It is my hope that you will love them and want to give them into the safe keeping of those you love.

This package includes:

1. Limited Edition Pre-release CD - five songs just recorded and only available as part of a Songs of the Soul Sponsorship Package - all original and all new songs  - autographed and gift-wrapped, if you choose, and sent the same day ordered.

The five songs I've chosen, for pre-release are:

Miracle  -  Driving down a street in Seattle, this song's chorus drifted to the surface.  Every day that dawns is a new miracle waiting to happen.

Sanctuary - Home is the place we all long to come to, a safe-hold, a sanctified refuge that will keep us.

Between - This song simply says that much of life is lived in the region between here and there, the rock and the hard place, the four walls, the spaces between.

Jai Yen Yen - In Thailand, this phrase means keep a cool, cool heart, a way of being in the world.

Sleeping Tigers - Written in Costa Rica, this song brings me peace in the simplest of ways.
