Meditations On The Day (released on February 28, 2016)

		I have been composing songs since I first learned to play guitar in 1972.  My first collection of songs—titled "Meditations On The Day"—was conceived of during a stay at the Bodhi Tree House during the Summer of 2000.  The Bodhi Tree House is a magical place perched on the side of a mountain and surrounded by woods—located just south of Black Mountain, North Carolina.  The idea of using various songs to reflect an average day was born there—as well as the idea to place the music against a backdrop of nature sounds.  On my second stay there in the Summer of 2002, I used a small digital recorder to develop the songs ideas.  I am happy to say that after many years of work, I released the finished product on February 28, 2016.
