1. For All Who Fly - A musical tribute to each and every bird who has ever lived. From the rain forests of South America to the mountains of Montana, this song is in celebration of their freedom and abilities.
2. Give My Heart To The Eagles - An eagle gave this melody to a gifted child, and the child played this melody daily for over a year, until it gradually became this song. When I make the transition from this life to whatever is next - do what you want with most of my physical body, but please give my heart to the eagles.
3. Flight To Freedom - There are wonderful people on this planet who care for injured birds until (if possible) the bird can be returned to the wild. The moment a rehabilitated eagle was released from captivity was the inspiration for this song. I was given the melody in the dream time several days later.
4. Rain Forest Feather Dance - When you dance this song on the floor of the rain forest, the birds who live up in the canopy will send you feathers as gifts in return for preserving their home. This song was given to me by a Toucan.
5. Winter Swans - While watching Trumpeter Swans in Yellowstone National Park, I was impressed by the swans' ability to maintain a strong sense of grace and beauty, despite the adverse condition of living in and with some of the coldest weather in the lower 48 states. This is the song they gave me - I played it back for them two years later. It was an awesome experience.
6. Set The Butterflies Free - Thousands of Monarch Butterflies winter in a small area of Mexico until they get some incredible cosmic message that sets the Butterflies free from their "hibernation". This song is about looking up in the sky and seeing it filled with these awesome flowers with wings that somehow know how to find the right spot in the North country, having never been there before.
7. As The Eagle Soars - I met a Golden Eagle in Montana who had ingested a sufficient quantity of needless pesticides so that he could no longer fly. The brain was there, the wings were there, the memory and desire seemed to be there, but whatever he had that had at one time connected his faculties was screwed up by a pesticide used on cattle... I was told that the tragedy was avoidable by using a natural repellent on the cattle to begin with. The Eagle gave me this song from his memories of flying in huge arcs across a blue Montana sky.
8. Sky Tribe - At a gathering in Arizona, I had the opportunity to meet an Aboriginal man from Australia. Looking into the deep soft eyes and shaking the hand of a man who can trace his heritage several thousand years moved me to a point that felt like I was somehow being introduced to Quantum time. He had just finished a series of Dreamtime inspired dances during which in my mind's eye I saw him running through the sky together with a flock of Emus. I'll remember him forever. This song is for Henry and the Emus.
9. On Raven Wings - A Raven in the care of a wildlife rehabilitator gave me this song. The message is "Come see some of the places where my family lives - we can go there together on Raven wings".
10. Sky Dance Of The Great Blue Herons - I was watching a spectacular sunset & feeding mosquitoes one evening along a Montana river. Three Great Blue Herons flew by in a group and as they banked to turn a corner, the light and colors of the sunset reflected off the bottom of their wings. It was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.
