This song is dedicated to Sir Jim Easton. In the midst of a long musical dry spell Jim mentored by sharing from his vast wealth of musical knowledge and gently nudging me to new musical explorations. I am most grateful to this wise teacher and friend.

Very nice intro with the keys DCD! The flute sounds so cool the way it's placed in the mix....not to overlook the fine playing by Arthur. I'm digging the tasteful bass playing also...real nice....applause all around!

David, David and Arthur. You gents have really outdone yourselves. This has a great latin jazz soothe to it. A genuine execution of emotion and atmosphere. It really carried me away. Every element has it's place, with air to breathe and with notes that count. Bravo fellows (standing in applause). - Bilbozo
Guys, to my ears at least, this is as fine as fine gets. What a joy. Love it.

I listened to the first few notes and said to myself "Ruh Roh, here it comes", kicked back in my chair and closed my eyes for the ride...
This is truly a beautiful piece, everything sits right where it belongs in the mix, the beauty of the keys, the power of the bass, the sweetness of the flute and then the rain...!
Veeery, VEEEERY nice collab here folks!

The jazz earth feel of this is pure and lovely. I am so happy you went to this place Arthur, the flute adds magic. David c Deal the tinkling of ivory keys is as well as anyone I've come across. David Coonrod the bass you express anchors this piece firmly to the ground. Marvelous Collaboration fellas!

I live in Ohio where I am a practicing Psychologist http://davidcdealphd.com/ . My favorite instruments are an array of keyboards, however I also enjoy playing acoustic guitar. I currently perform in a Trans-Siberian Orchestra tribute band named Siberian Solstice. www.siberiansolstice.com ,
I have released two CD’s, “Harmonic Space” and “Transformations.” “Harmonic Space” is a clinically based CD that aids people in coping with anxiety and sleep disorders. “Transformations” is a concept album that is both a spiritual autobiography and, hopefully, a spiritual vessel. The songs from Transformations have deep, emotional, and spiritual intent. I continue to write, record, produce, and collab and have also posted many of these songs.
My musical styles are said to range from those of progressive rock bands such as YES and Pink Floyd to Broadway musicals such as those of Andrew Lloyd Weber. I often add a little bit of Jazz and Classical flavoring. I have recently been mixing my acoustic guitar roots with more progressive elements.
A Word from David:
I have been blessed with many artistic and musical friends who have offered their talents to my recordings. Some of the musicians who played on the posted songs include Les Brooke, Tom Hannah, Tim Vargo, Andrew Vargo, Cynthia Lugo, Andrea Bok, David Coonrod, Ned Clark, Kevin Peters, Kristin Sorensen, William O’Connell, Ked Deiter, Mack Sanders, Rob Hanlon, Richard Gonzales, Bob Ross, Pat Ross, Michael Duryee, Nigel Potter, Joseph Rodriguez, P.E.Bailey, Carol Sue Kirkpatrick, Bill Smith, Buddrumming, Rasmuth, Jolee, Terry Wigmore and John Else, I want to extend special thanks to Arthur Kills Straight Putnam who wrote and recorded all of the native flute parts which follow each song in “Transformations”.
Finally, I want to say a special thanks to David Coonrod. He plays incredible bass on many of the posted songs and has been an awesome collaborator and friend. At this point I would hardly be willing to release any musical arrangement without passing it by his ears for suggestions etc. A talented, selfless friend and a musical compadre.
Transformation Cover Message:
"Sometimes, in the midst of a perfectly ordinary day, one is unexpectedly flooded by the magnificence of “what is.” Perhaps that moment of awareness and clarity arrives while watching a storm or absorbing a piece of art or kneeling with intention in a church. If blessed, echoes of the past and visions of the future fade from existence as the unknowing silence of the infinite present emerges. With patience and grace, one comes to know the incredible richness of “what is” as a revelation of God’s face, and the mind is forever transformed into a mirror of creation." . . . .
