Many of the songs selected for this album follow in the spirit of the ancient bardic traditions wherein one endeavors to embed philosophical insights in the core of the song. I recognize that as one matures with the experiences of life, the levels of both introspection and retrospection increase resulting in more contemplation along philosophical lines. It follows then, that this element must be reflected in the art of such a generation. Moreover and perhaps more importantly there is an intention to share something from one generation to the next.
