Hello friend and fellow traveler,

I have so much to share with you, and yet I know your time is priceless, so I will be brief:

It's Election Day eve 2008, and I'm sure you've got a lot on your mind; especially if you've been watching the (bad) news programs on TV, tuning into the (bad) news channels, or reading the (bad) news papers . . .

Lately I've been blessed to play music with some beautiful souls - people who, every day, are being beacons of light for the people around them - and I'm so grateful to be aware that, despite the bad news coming from seemingly every which way, there is beauty and light and love and consciousness flowering everywhere I turn.

And the music - oh, the music!  It's exquisite.  I wish I could carry you around with me, so you can hear each delicious note . . .

Singing - especially with others - reminds me that it's the heart connections that we share with others that makes the difference between heaven and hell on earth . . .

Today I've been sitting here recovering from a mild flu, thinking about you, thinking about music, and thinking about the next time you and me and the music are all together in the same place at the same time, reminiscing about old times, enjoying the moment, and creating the future . . .

There's lots of folks who have given me their email addresses in the past month or so, and haven't yet received one of these notes; perhaps you're one of them. 

If so, it's so good to be in communication with you again, and I hope to see you soon wherever the music leads us. 

If you've been with me for a while, hello and much love to you! 

Your friend and musical ally in creating a beautiful future for us all,

Shawn

Want me to come to your town?

Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons.
You will find it is to the soul what a water bath is to the body.
