Personal development is a funny thing. We all have our own personal challenges, and for me, so much is tied up in singing and songwriting, it is hard to fathom just how much.

It's a personal closet for me to come out of and say, "Yes, I write and sing folk songs. It's a heritage thing ... It has to do with my Romany ancestory ... Don't ask ..."

Anyway, it's a big deal for me to have added the official "Songs & Songwriting" section to SH.com, and even bigger deal to put a raw mp3 of me singing and playing guitar up for public download. But I've done it today and I guess it's a good step in the right direction, and towards eventual reconciliations of all kinds. The story of "Stillness", indeed - when me singing out aloud is the absolute opposite ...

But where would we be if people weren't so weird? Still sitting in the trees I guess. Here's the link.
