As we come to the end of April and the beginning of May, the weather is warming, the flowers and trees are starting to bloom, the bird songs fill the air and the days get a little longer.   So, take a moment to get outside, and sit for a little while “By The Pond”

Earth Day was founded in 1970 to demonstrate support for environmental protection and to seek ways to honor the Earth. 
In honor of Earth Day this year, here is “Cross Country.”https://heartconsortmusic.com/track/2295119/cross-country
Whether your criss cross journey is on foot or skis, by bike, car, or train, take the time to enjoy our earth and, as we used to say, “Love Your Mother”

In honor of the recent Lunar mission, here is a tune from our album "Luna"  called "Eclipse"
In December of 1999, there was a full moon on Winter Solstice, the day on which the earth is closest to the moon.  This happens every hundred and fifty years or so.  On that night, in our small town, there was snow on the ground and not a cloud in the sky. The light was bright and beautiful. It inspired a trilogy of songs, 
Luna, Midnight, and Eclipse.

Thought we’d share some news. We just won the Indie Music Channel’s Radio Music Award for Best Instrumental Group with our song “Hickory Hollow.”   Jim wrote the song about memories of his family’s fall trips to Hickory Hollow.  He says “I grew up in a small rural town in Iowa. Every fall as a child, my father would take us to Hickory Hollow, a grove of hickory trees. There were some walnut trees there too. With the fall chill in the air and the autumn leaves blowing in the wind, we would gather the fallen hickory nuts and walnuts that would be used for cooking and baking in the approaching holiday season. I am thankful for memories like this that always remind me of how simple life is and can be. And yes, I'll never forget those nuts that were in Grandma's cookies and candies.”
