"A jazzy renaissance faire classical rock musician "
My musical career was born out of a dream encounter with the spirit of John Lennon minutes after his assassination. The dream came before anyone had heard the news. My boss from work woke me up from the dream with the news as soon as she heard it. From one senseless act of violence and a strangely timed dream came a new musician. Also born out of that dream came philosophy for many. Peace never closes a door without opening another. The philosophy is if the Creator is Love and Love is Peace then Worship Peace. We are each an image of Peace which carved an idol of itself in each of us. With this knowledge to commit violence against any one is an act of blasphemy. I play a Camac harp. The Camac harp derives its name from the second half of the name of the Inca God, “Pachacamac” whose name signifies Creator/Giver of Life. Peace the Giver of Life! Love the Giver of Peace! Le Blue harp was born out of a dream of a friend of mine, the late Joel Garnier. If we worship Peace, the giver of life, through the idol that it provided, all of humanity, conflict and violence will melt away. Worship Peace - Me
