I wrote this while spending 2 weeks in the backwoods of Digby County, NS Canada. Elijah heard God at the mouth of a cave, in the gentle breeze, I experienced God in nature during this quiet time.  
Thanks to Greg Marquis on mandolin and harmony, Dan Cyr on bass and recording studio.
Thanks to my brother Dave Benson for providing the reflective photo.

ELIJAH’S CALL

Down at the lake at dawn
Mist rising with the morning sun
Birds sing their daybreak melody
All around me the feeling is as one

Chorus                                    Elijah’s call … Elijah’s call
Solitude with you well spent
Closing summer prepare for fall
Come listen to the desert call … come listen to the desert call

Watchin the cloud drift by
Suspended in the blue sky
That’s when I feel your grace
                                           Smilin from this wilderness place                               Chorus

Listen to the waves lap ashore
Wind whistling through the tall pines
That’s when I hear your voice
                                                  Calling gently from within			           Chorus

Out on the lake at dusk
Ears ring with the silent peace
Come to you again I must
Back to the voice in the wind

Elijah’s call … Elijah’s call
Solitude with you well spent
Closing summer prepare for fall
I’ll listen to the desert call
Come listen to the desert call … come listen to the desert call
Come listen come listen come lis …  ten   … come lis …  ten

Take These Beads is a family and friend collaboration - an inspiring story of family connection in the face of PTSD.
I have some new banjo and guitar tunes up on YouTube. I'm really enjoy the musical connection to all styles around the world. 

As the former Director of Spiritual Care at a downtown Hospital, and Licensed Counsellor specializing in Grief , Loss and Life Transitions I have journey with patients and families in personal, grief and spiritual matters. I enjoyed using my guitar, banjo  and music in this setting, a gift to share when appropriate!

I am new to the recording side of things. My guitar (Larivee) does not sound nearly as crisp plugged in so need to mic it before posting more. (Jan 2014) That was pointed out from a music industry friend.  I started playing clawhammer style banjo around 2016 - I love it!Hope you enjoy

I once saw a UFO. 

 This account is pretty much like a journal to my music.
