Earth Day – wood drum

It’s been a privilege to work with and support @for.the.wild podcast with some music to layer into their incredible storytelling.

Tribute to Roger

This song was recorded during a mediatation focused on Roger right around the time he was unplugged from life support, and I felt his presence so strongly.

Fear challenge: What I’ve noticed…
