Expansion-NatLife-Discofunk for SynthMaster 2

My violin versatility abides in a deep faith in my God-granted talents and the success that soulful authenticity, dedication to honoring the song, playful attitude, propensities for taking on new ideas in my heart and daily life. My sometimes virtuosic violin playing is highlighted by the great players whose talents are in this genre-crossing performance catalogue which features some of my more wildly explorative unique compositions, improvisation and collaborations with many different projects involving a host of talented musicians, solo and studio Stevie Wonder-inspired songs highlighted in the many hours of these recordings and oftentimes playful explorations. These moments of clarity and creation, ultimately, transfigured into the myriad explorations of sonic and visionary ideas, happenings and expressions you which you are free to discover through the direct experiences contained throughout many of these recordings with a wide array of different styles, artists and collaborations. The music is here for us all to freely explore and I sincerely hope you enjoy listening to them. I have for many years now, and continue to discover hidden gems.

  "Music is the universal language of love. 
I am deeply grateful for the inspiration, blessings and experience from our Heavenly Father that continually inspire and motivate my creativity, motivation to do so, and sustain the spirit of gratitude and happiness, which I feel is our birthright.

Japan Earthquake 2011: 8.9 Magnitude Earthquake Hits, 30-Foot Tsunami Triggered

TOKYO  A ferocious tsunami spawned by one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded slammed Japan's eastern coast Friday, killing hundreds of people as it swept away boats, cars and homes while widespread fires burned out of control.

Hours later, the tsunami hit Hawaii and warnings blanketed the Pacific, putting areas on alert as far away as South America, Canada, Alaska and the entire U.S. West Coast. In Japan, the area around a nuclear power plant in the northeast was evacuated after the reactor's cooling system failed.

Reuters reports: The risk of radiation contamination from Japan's damaged nuclear power stations has sparked food bans across the globe and more surprisingly, a buying frenzy from South Korean mothers who fear their favorite Japanese-made diapers may suddenly become unavailable.

Have been a guitarist since the 60’s playing in rock bands, theatre bands,. I did a stint with Joe Loss when his guitarist had appendicitis!  One theatre band had “A Windmill in Amsterdam” 6 nights a week for 12 weeks. Still gives me nightmares. 
I got the name Captain Lethargy as my solos were sparse and infrequent. I still use that name on the various songs I put out now.
