Songs arranged from newest to oldest in the order I wrote them or began playing them.
Many of my earlier songs and the ability to perform them were inspired by a transformative experience that began during a year of OPEN FOCUS™ Awareness Training that started in February 2008. Itis a method of relaxation, enhanced with neurofeedback, that helps to broaden awareness until simultaneous consciousness of the whole body, all of the senses and surrounding space is achieved.
The training helped me explore the idea, through songwriting, that 'love lives vividly on' through memories of deep connectedness imprinted in the senses.
Most of these songs I just happen to like - but, I've also discovered that some of them help get me into the same 'Open Focus' state that is experienced when the monitors I use at Dr. Fehmi's "Open-Focus" Neurofeedback Clinic are in alpha synchrony.

This site began after a frog in a pond in my yard started croaking along with me when I played guitar. The pond was the inspiration for my first song ever & the frog sang along in one version. Since this site started, I have added many more songs that attempt to musically illustrate a multi-sensory soul journey using a variety of meditation techniques.
A theme connecting most compositions is that 'Love Lives Vividly On' - as swirls of good energy communicated through art, connected to in nature, music & when we are in our 'spiritually best selves'.
