law musical training
Music is all about training in harmony, training to understand and use musical energy for our greater pleasure by attuning to the natural laws of the universe.
forever inertia ifs
it takes forever if you go by inertia...
dog home sheep
I brought a Border Collie back home to Vancouver from Wales - where some of my ancestors are from - and needed to challenge him in other ways than just being my pet. So I investigated sheep herding and took a few lessons, and decided I was probably learning more than my dog!
running home new-relationship
I tour alone. There's no sound check, no back up. I stay with the hosts I am in a family home and it's really nourishing. I just have to remember after the show not to run out into the living room in my pyjamas. Every day, it's a new relationship being built. It's odd and wonderful.
air breathing looks
If you ask someone if they like music, they look at you strangely. It seems to be a universal given. Like asking someone if they like breathing. It is like breathing. Or air, rather. Flowing without and within. A matrix within which our lives are set. The setting for the tableware of our beings.
kids giving nurse
Anything that activates the joy center in the brain makes you happy, and therefore protects you. Oddly enough, that's what they do in 'Harry Potter': The nurse gives the kids chocolates when they've been near the Dementors!
space rocks trying
I try to make my music have the quiet spaces of folk, the intimacy, and the energy of rock.
harmony exaggeration greater
Harmony is when the sum is greater than the parts. A happy exaggeration.
jobs thinking artist
I think, because I'm an artist, part of my job is to be a barometer, an antenna. It's in the air and it resonates with a lot of people to lighten up.
mind tricks young
I felt old when I was young and I feel younger now. Maybe that's a trick of my mind, but I'm springier and lighter.
people decision political
Hurry, conscious younger people! Get to power quickly so political decisions can be based on the greater good for all rather than the greater gain for few. Hurry, before it is too late!
thinking listening wonderful
Definitely I grew up listening to Joni Mitchell, and I think she is a wonderful writer, so she is probably part of me.
letting-go thinking doors
I'm just opening the doors. And a lot of this is new to me - thinking about it, and letting go again and again and again, trusting that if I'm meant to continue working as a musician, it'll happen. If I'm not, then pull out the life support.
climate difficult music-is
I'm not a household word. The climate for original music is always a bit difficult.
