I wrote this song quite a while back but it’s stayed with me like a dear friend. I thought it deserved a fresh take. I hope you enjoy this new recording I made with Billy Gewin.

LOVE’S SHINING PEACE 

Love’s the only gift you’re given you can’t keep 
If you hide it deep inside, it goes to sleep 
And I know we’ll find one day 
All the things we gave away 
On the road to finding Love’s Shining Peace 

I’d been sleeping off the winter’s bitter grief 
When awakened by the fragrance of the spring 
I’m amazed year after year 
Flowers blooming without fear 
On my way to finding Love’s Shining Peace 

There’s a wonder in the way we’re always free 
To change the world by changing how we see 
On the long journey home 
We’re not long left alone 
On the road to finding Love’s Shining Peace 

Shine… on me 
Shine… until I see…. 

Love’s the only gift you’re given you can’t keep 
If you hide it deep inside, it goes to sleep 
And I know we’ll find one day 
All the things we gave away 
On the road to finding Love’s Shining Peace 
On the road to finding Love’s Shining Peace

After All This Time

I wrote this song when I was 19. I finally recorded it when I was 59. I think it might be a keeper. This one's for you, Chipa Wolf. RIP.

Sing Your Own Blues

Vintage Vibe from the Way Back Machine ... circa 1992*. Written by Cyndi Craven who, on this recording, plays all instruments, and sings all vocals.  

* Back when we were soaking wet in reverb.
