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"

July 1 at 3:01pm

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!

Yes, thank you. I'm beginning to literally "see <the> light" at the end of this long tunnel.

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.

Ivan at 4:22pm June 18

Very nice! Good luck with the project it sounds very exciting.

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.

I'm blushing. Your encouragement is truly invaluable.

Manisha Shahane I have learned that the competition round for April finalists will be held on June 30 at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia. Please let me know if you'd like to see me perform (again) in Philly and/or if you would be interested in helping me turn the possibility of my competing again into a reality.
