My friend Masankho Banda told me that in Malawi to greet each other, they say, “I see you with my eyes, I see you with my heart.” At the Global Village Project, this inspired a song weaving a multi-lingual musical collage of greetings from each of our cultures. Here is a performance by the Global Village Chorus at the release concert for my CD We’re All BORN SINGING. We are joined by Brien Engel on Mbira (southern african thumb piano).
My song “Amoeba” won a Silver Award at the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest, awarded by the Songwriters Association of Washington!
Join us on Thurs. Oct. 1st @ Oakhurst Baptist Church in Decatur GA to celebrate the release of “We’re All BORN SINGING,” my new CD & Book!
