I have always loved to look at the stars. I sometimes pretended I was Galileo, but I didn’t know anything about him. Reading David Wootton’s inspiring book “Galileo: Watcher of the Skies” showed me Galileo and his times, which for me turned into music!

I live in the peaceful mountain village of Idyllwild, California - pop. 3,300, 6000 feet in the pine forest.  What a wonderful place to compose music!  These are  musical visions of my favorite places in my Forest Home.

Melting Into the Flow

Searching for the Garden begins the journey with short versions of all the themes on the CD.  Clay portrays the ooze that somehow something alive came from; the trials, tests, traumas that have molded us.  Song of Lilith is the wild, free, unfettered element of our psyche; Song of Adam is the controlled and controlling elements and Song of Eve is the accepting element.  Eon is the amazing amount of time that has passed for all this to happen.  Finding the Garden Within is the ultimate goal and destination, it is always there for us.
