Musical choices for my muse

Music has always been with me and recently these are my fave choices. I go back to these cds often...at night mainly...to do my yoga and stretching exercises. The muse I need to inspire me to create my life, my book, and to keep me on the path.

First is Robert Plant's Band of Joy. Awesome....haunting, cool, different. HIs voice is what makes this compilation so amazing. Robert's voice is very, very unique when he sings. He's in tune with something great out there, I'm sure of it.

Second is Criss Angel's BeLIEve Soundtrack cd. Haunting, again...but in a dark way...like a tunnel leading us to a place we need to be. Beautiful almost classical tracks. It's not a cheery album tho. Some songs are uplifting.

Third is all about a discovery and I have a story to tell. Before Christmas at my workplace a guy who works with me found an old case of cds upstairs in the storage closet. They date back to the early 1990's and he gave them to me as no one has claimed the collection all this time and I wanted them.

There are 3 discs, all Hawaiian slack key guitar, mainly instrumentals, some vocals. This discovery has opened new doors to me. I enjoy all of the songs and one cd I play a lot is Auhele by John Keawe, a Hawaiian native. The songs are so soothing and wonderful, relaxing and melodic. Perfect as a retreat, an escape from daily demands. Perfect to do my stretching and yoga. Sometimes I just sit on the carpet and listen to every note, absorbed in the clear and harmonious sounds. On the net I researched Auhele and other cds by John Keawe and I'd love to buy more soon. I would love to go to Hawaii someday and see him play at the hotel where he does regular gigs.

Now to go back to writing my book...almost done.
