There is a pretty long bio from my website....... Here's the short form: A few really important things happened in my life. I met my Guru when I was 19 and what was a planet lost and spinning out of control was pulled into an orbit of love, longing and spiritual protection..... Of course, I promptly got lost again until, after many years of running, I entered a drug treatment place and restarted my life, my heart and my soul....... I actually feel that my Guru saved my life. Then I went to Brasil and met my soul mate, Nubia, and after a few years we got married.... And then 14 months ago we had an amazing little baby boy...... WOW!!!!! Hmmmm.... none of those events are about music. Well, I guess that over the years music, particularly chanting, has been my salvation, my spirit connection and my life support system.
