I checked out 4 of the tunes from "Wanderer Awakening" on Youtube. I didn't know he was also a vocalist. I'm going to listen to more when I have more time. Interesting variety of styles... I like it.
Quote:I do think the Cayce coincidences are fascinating.
Yeah, there just seems to be too much to ignore. The astrological chart similarities are very compelling among many other things. I wonder if the ARE will ever at least acknowledge that he may be the real deal? I heard that Hugh Lynn Cayce, a son of Edgar's met with him once but wouldn't even look him in the eye and was skeptical. He did admit however that David seemed more credible than others who'd claimed to be Cayce's reincarnation.
Quote:I think he's not aware of the Law of One texts, but he sure does get the concept of music as a spiritual expression waiting for a person to receive and manifest it.
You can tell when Carlos plays that he's genuinely feeling / channeling every note as if he becomes each note. I like how he is able to mix Latin and blues styles into a nice pop format. I think he's a Christian now (probably an open-minded one like myself)) but he says that he's been exposed to many religions and philosophies etc. so I imagine that he would be able to glean something from the LOO.
Quote:I play keyboards, and bass guitar.
I always wished I would have learned keyboards. The funny thing is that even though I'm all about guitar, my favorite living musician is a keyboard player / singer / songwriter named Donald Fagen, of Steely Dan fame. He doesn't do much soloing or fast flourishes but the chord changes and arrangements he comes up with are brilliant IMO. He and SD co-songwriter Walter Becker mix many of my favorite elements of music into a neat package.
Quote:When I get a chance, I bang on drum kits, not as often as I'd like.
Me too... I have a cheap Tama set but I don't play much. I can play beats pretty well but never got good at fancy fills etc. I play bass also but mostly to work up parts to show to my bass player.
Quote:I've been told if I keep at it I'll soon be able to play some of Ringo's parts.
I like his style a lot. I saw him with his new band just recently on tv. We do 5 or 6 Beatle tunes.
Quote:Some of my favorite good music comes from genres including classical music, prog rock, funk, Motown-flavored R&B/soul, "New age"/ambient
I do like all of those styles too. I definitely have a thing for Motown-flavored R&B/soul. I love stuff like Stevie Wonder, Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Wilson Pickett etc. The house band who played on most of the Motown material, "The Funk Brothers" were incredible IMO, especially James Jamerson, one of my favorite bass players.
Quote:In general I tend to like it when music has overlapping layers of counterpoint with interesting parts for everyone, and development of the structure throughout the piece.
A little taste of Steely (Fagen and Becker)

Quote:Are you aware that Carla considers herself a lifelong mystical Christian?
Yeah, when I heard her say that recently on a Youtube interview video it gave me a sense of validation. Before that I knew that one of her tests for continuing contact with an entity was to ask it to repeat, "Jesus is Lord" and I don't think a negative entity is able to profess that. I may be wrong. Ra passed the test by saying several times that Jesus (meaning LOVE) is Lord. While watching that multi-part interview I remember wishing that I could sit there in her house and listen to her all day. I love the simple yet articulate way she has of explaining things.
