I've been playing the Native American Flute since 1996 - and never imagined that I would ever win an award - let alone for a music CD ! My deep gratitude for the accompanying artists on MANY PATHS including Fiona Joy Hawkins, Rod Ibieta and Susan Rivers - their contributions to the music make this CD very special - and they are my heroes !

MANY PATHS qualifies for FOUR Awards!

MANY PATHS is up for four possible awards from Zone Music Reporter - including Album of the Year, Best Relaxation/Meditation Album, Best Cover Art and Best Native American Album. I am just so thrilled and honored!

This good news is tempered by news of the loss of one of my very close friends, Chip. Chip's wife Bobbi was my best friend in high school and Bobbi died a few years ago from complications of cancer - and now - Chip is gone too. To get both this good news and bad news on the same day is quite intense - and a reminder that life is all about balancing the good and the bad. My heart goes out to Chip and Bobbi's daughters and their families.

From MANY PATHS here is CELESTIAL SEAS - with the lovely work of Australian pianist Fiona Joy Hawkins and the beautiful writing of gifted Native American author Gabriel Horn.
