A Brief Guide To The Songs

Old Blue Ridge: You can fly in this dream. Adapted from my nephew David Glaser's original version.

Under The Influence: Of alcohol...or love?

Sermon On The Mount: A plea for the individual to speak up and be heard, because one voice can truly change the world.

Vision In Vanilla: Harpist extraordinaire Dr. Vanessa Sheldon sat down at the keyboards to create this soulful instrumental. Watch Dr. Sheldon’s harp videos here.

There Is Love: Can love be found at the molecular level?

Logical Conclusion: An epic love song in 5/4 time.

Another Lap Around The Sun: A sort of Auld Lang Syne for the new millennium.

Leave It Up To You: I read between your lines: “Back off, Jack.”

Cradle To Grave: A journey of universal proportions.

I Dream In Stereo: When you dream, do you ever hear music in vivid stereo? Watch the video here.

Getting Off: On Saturday I'm telling Jane to "stop this crazy thing!" Lead guitar by Kent Mark.

As Is: Acoustic guitar-based instrumental interlude.

Storm: A meditative instrumental accented with nature sounds.

Tyko: Originally intended to be an instrumental, but picked up an unusual guest vocalist along the way.
