Meditation Bell – 1st Mix

This melody came to me directly from this morning’s meditation bell.

Retreat – First Mix

This one came to me on the morning of September 7, 2015… It’s been stewing for weeks now, bubbling up in my consciousness every now and then. It always calms and centers me, whenever it arises. Recorded with Loopy on iOS. Arranged & processed in Logic X.

Today volunteers in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia received the information that we will be sent home for an undetermined amount of time as a cautionary move against the rising risk of Ebola. Electron micrograph image of the Ebola virus. Friends and family back home are overjoyed…

Tamara Cortez’ Flow Notes: Gifts of a Truly Compassionate & Loving Healer

Tamara Jo Cortez’ new book, Flow Notes (E-book version reviewed, available at Balboa Press or Amazon) may at first glance seem a sweet, simple collection of positive affirmations. However, while her notes do positively affirm my oft-disturbed spirit and give rise to smiles in the same way as do sweet and simple post-it notes on […]

Osho is Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh!

I just found out that one of my Facebook heroes, Osho, not only died in 2000, but is also the infamous Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh! I originally knew of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh via Berkeley Breathed‘s brilliant 1980s comic strip Bloom County, where Bill the Cat runs off to Rajneeshpuram, Oregon to join the cult. So, I looked […]

Plurimae Voces

Plurimae Voces is an album of voice-focused tracks I created and worked on for several months, over 2010 and 2011. “Plurimae voces” is Latin for “many voices,” which seemed to be a fitting title for this collection. It seems that I’ve gotten back to my musical roots– singing– in the past couple years. Singing is […]

Loving iTunes Match!

I am so happy with iTunes Match! For the first time in my life, i feel like I have real control over my music collection, no matter what device I’m using: Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone… Such a relief! I don’t have to worry about losing music and my ratings and comments and other metadata that […]

Talent Stolen from the Drug Companies

Rush Limbaugh. What a loser. Does anybody even listen to him anymore? Didn’t he go to jail for drugs? Well, not quite. His drug use has been in criminal investigation for two-and-a-half years, poor guy (I mean, how inconvenient!). Now, apparently, he’s been let off the hook because he’s been seeing a therapist since the […]

Africa on the Web; yugen update

Mon 9 Sept, 1996 Here’s an update on the “where’s AFRICA on the so-called ‘WorldWide Web’” rant of 11 August!: check out the “Macs in Africa homepage;” it’s a cool site for jumping off into other African websites, as well as a MacIntosh resource. What’s to not like, huh? My shows this past weekend went pretty […]
