New recording “Nectar”

Just had a new recording come out that was in progress for 3 years. It’s Jorge Alfano’s “Nectar”. There a couple of very sweet cuts, plus all the musical diversity & artistry in playing and producing he brings in. Jeff Deen brings tabla, set, Hapi and much much more.
Title track Nectar ….I think the love is palpable. We recorded first take, sat back and found it was so complete. We were stunned and intoxicated by the music, in that moment. Magic moments in music and spirit!
That 3 yr period …they waited until I recovered from one surgery after the next. From the physical and the emotional of sep/divorce, to the next, the long chemo..
It’s very meaningful to me that I kept getting back up and rising to play.
From Chumba Wumba : “I get knocked down but I get up again. Ain’t never gonna keep me down” (repeat)
That they were there to encourage, drive me to play, bring me in to play for the making of the healing medicine sand mandala by Tibetan Monks in Miami. It all helped keep me going. That’s not on the album jacket….it’s the inside story of healing with music and love. Prayer and friends.

Music Permeates Everything

Music Permeating the Space

Ever think about the tune you are humming? Subconscious notes and melodies. Where do they come from and where do they lodge?
Ever play recorded music, different genres and notice how you begin to view the world? Or feel it? It’s like color was just introduced to B & W TV
The mood shifts, the light changes somehow. An old friend, favorite composer, piece, raga….comes into “view”.
Thinking about how we color our environments with sound. Silence is good.
It’s Spring. I’m noticing the return of the bird song and sounds to the area! Wind in the pine trees is a powerful presence. All winter long.
In April I’ll have the chance to listen to the palm trees swaying: )

MTV fundraiser tonight. It’s my 3rd donation. All the money won’t bring back the deceased or ease the early traumas. It will give many the chance to survive and a future with some hope in it. This country has been so impoverished and “back burnered”.
I hope this tragedy brings about a new plan for Global Emergencies. Speed and Effectiveness.
I wish I had what it takes to be a doctor, the strength & immunity to go there. Thank you to those that studied so hard, 12 years & more and choose to give back in this way!!! Go Team MD Rescue!!!! Berkshire Muse Vicki
