Violence is not the answer. Thinking tonight about the 2,996 lives lost 25 years ago in the 911 terrorist attack, the incredible bravery of the first responders, and the challenges so many families ❤️ have still have to endure since we were attacked. #neverforget

Happy Labor Day weekend to all! While the holiday began in 1882 to support and honor union workers, I also think of it as a time to say THANK YOU ❤ to all those who are of service through their work in every walk of life!

I hope you'll enjoy 12 hours of sleep music (No Ads) on YouTube, thanks to Melissa Messer for creating this cute video, 1.6 million views so far! ❤️ youtu.be/APdCMjDZhK0

I'm very honored to have received the "Advocate of Music Therapy Award" tonight from the American Music Therapy Association, and grateful for their many years of encouragement and support!

Many thanks to dear friend and legendary singer Jimmy Demers for his wonderful performance of "America the Beautiful" (written by Katharine Lee Bates and Samuel A. Ward), in honor of America's 250th birthday! Beautiful video and footage by Melissa Neale Messer with additional footage by Mehosh Dziadzio youtube.com/watch?v=o0f1i5fv…

Many years ago I was asked to write an anthem to honor our veterans and the Liberty Memorial Monument and Museum in Kansas City, Missouri. As we celebrate 250 years of our great country, regardless of where we each may stand politically, there's little argument that the concept of "liberty" is important, without which the USA would not have come into existence. Sincerest thanks to tenor Nathan Alan Granner for allowing me to use his amazing performance of "Oh Liberty!" in this video, to Mark Koval for a wonderful orchestration, and Harry Maslin for a great mix!

The life of a creative person is filled not only with successes, but also with rejection, trial, and error. Encouragement can be hard to find at times. Many years ago, at a difficult time in my life, a good friend sent me the below quote by the legendary Martha Graham to her friend Agnes de Mille, and it ever reminds me to honor what is unique in myself, in spite of what may be going on in the world. I've shared it before and will share it again without apology, because it is a foundation stone of my life: "There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others." (Martha Graham to Agnes de Mille)

I'm happy to announce the release of a third collaboration with friend and talented flutist Bryan Baker! "Healing Hands Flute Remix" is now live on all streaming services. ❤️ Audrey Hepburn once said: "As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others." Her statement has always resonated with me, especially in today's world. Thank you for your support of Liquid Mind ❤️ ! liquidmindmusic.com/healing_…

No one is born hating another person, people can and do change every day. Peace between differing ideologies, different cultures, or different belief systems may be challenging to attain, but peace on a “person-to-person” basis is ALWAYS possible between any two willing individuals, regardless of their backgrounds or political beliefs. Even the smallest step taken by one individual as a peacemaker can build a bridge of hope, encouragement and understanding which can grow and spread. I will do my best to take a step today in that direction.

Happy Labor Day weekend! While this holiday began in 1882 as a way to support and honor union workers, I also think of this holiday as a way to say THANK YOU ❤ to all those who are of service to our world through their meaningful work, in every walk of life and every business, every home, and every family!
