Grab a cup of coffee or tea and pull up a comfy chair on Sunday November 23rd from 2-4 pm. You’re invited to join me as I do my first “open to the public” concert in over 2 years.

The Space is a small, vibrant performing arts venue that is perfect for the intimate kind of music I do. There’s plenty of parking and it’s easy to get to.

Bonus! The first 20 people to register online will receive a CD of 13 of my best songs FREE!

Purest Form of Trance | 6/9/2001 | Song #314

I hate to admit it, I’m an ordinary man
I spend each day doing the best I can
I’ve come such a long way, and I have so far to go
Just like you I’ve got a couple of scars to show
Some say that it’s all about love, some say it’s all about enlightenment
And I don’t believe it’s an accident we’ve met

Refrain:
Fill my sails sweet wind of Creation
Cause Love is all about transformation
We may fear change, we may fear the status quo
We may be afraid to let our feelings show
But no one’s immune to the siren’s tune
Or the intoxicating pull of this lover’s moon
I embrace this magical distraction,
This Cabernet Sauvignon of mutual attraction
I will not deny it! I would like to try it!
How about you?

The more that I learn about love, the less that I know
Where does it come from? Where the hell does it go?
Sometimes it seems like it’s all part of some cosmic scheme,
A trick of Creation to get us to spread our genes…
Or, is it an invitation to the purest form of trance
Where miracles happen and the clumsy learn to dance?

Refrain:

Lately I’ve been learning a lot about distance…
I have no trouble being alone
I ain’t no Baryshnikov in the ballet of romance
But still I am a man of flesh and heart and bone
I am so receptive tonight to the signals that you’ve sent
That I answer you with the strength of my intent

Raven had a conversation with the moon
He asked her “is there a certain tune
I can sing to convince the sun to return
Without getting my feathers burned?”
