Music Medicine - All music was improvised, inspired by Native American Spirituality, created to produce a Healing vibration - each album with it's own "medicine"...

With this album there where a few more mics, a computer and much life experience - Mastered at my favorite music Studio, Fantasy Studios in Berkeley Ca. by George Horn... My hope is that this music may bring a sense of peace, provide a deep breath and perhaps take you on a Journey, free from Stress, Anxiety, Worry and Fear - in Fear, there is nothing... Learn more Here
