"BUDDHA"

"BUDDHA!"

I was in a dream at an Integral Salon and we were discussing the difference between rational understanding and 'knowing' when these cries of "Budhha" came crashing through and woke me up. Turns out it was Talia, at all of 21 months old, screaming from the other room. I asked Candi if I was hearing her right and she said, 'yeah, sometimes she says that'.

"Buddha"


I'm in Boston this weekend. I drove up with my sister and brother-in-law yesterday. I dropped them off and went to David and Candi's house to work on our music and hang out with their daughter Talia. Tonight I am going to see my parents in Ashland and then we are taking my mother out to the Top of the Hub for dinner to celebrate her retirement after over 25 years of teaching. I don't think she's done yet. She has much left to give in ESL (English as a Second Language)

The Emergence.

David and I have been writing songs and preparing to record them this summer. We are going into the studio next weekend to do a preliminary acoustic recording to help us hear what the full production versions of the songs may sound like and also to hand out to other musicians we are going to invite to play on it. Our working title for the project has been Witness (no more DaVerse), but it looks like we are going to end up calling ourselves The Emergence. Here is a list of songs that we are working on/considering for the album. Some of them are working titles.
