For years participants have been asking me about the songs I play during workshops and retreats. I’ve always wanted to share that information, especially because I’m so passionate about music. Now, with my latest Website relaunch, I’ve taken the plunge. Note: Because of the many You Tube image boxes on this page, it takes forever to load. Please be patient.
I’ve chosen to include only the songs most people might not already know. Where there’s an easily accessible link for listening to the song online, I’ve added that as well.
If you can’t find a song anywhere, and remember loving it, please email me directly and I’ll send it to you as an mp3 file.
Enjoy!
