Manisha Shahane Here's what the tabla player/multi-percussionist said in response to the mix of "See Light" that I sent to him yesterday for feedback: "Wow, it sounds great. All sounds very clear, nice use of the bol--takes me back! Congrats on the epic project....Great use of vocals and horns, etc... Looking forward to the big release and my own copy...Thanks for letting me travel thru time and sound. - Jerry Leake"

Manisha Shahane

Manisha Shahane Just got a new and improved mix of "See Light" from Dan and Livia over at Notable. I will send to Jerry Leake and some others for comment and then it should be pretty much a go for that piece. Livia plans to send me mixes of two more tunes tomorrow. I'm so excited about this progress!

Thanks for the shout out Ivan! Just got back a little while ago. I recorded the lead for two of his songs: "A Child Was Born" and "Katrina". I'm looking forward to hearing the final mixes - maybe even before the end of the month.

Manisha Shahane I was approached by someone earlier this spring who writes for HopeDance, a regional magazine. The upcoming issue will feature a review of my "Peace in Progress" album. The hard copy will be distributed tomorrow in San Luis Obispo, Ventura County, Santa Barbara, Morro Bay, etc. I'll post the link when it is online. "Peace in Progress" is on iTunes - something to chew on while you await the release of the next album.

You may RSVP here on Facebook OR call the number OR email the address in the invitation.
