 Gary
talks about the coming of The Gentle Awakening
Back
in 1996 I was given a book cassette of Marianne Williamson's
'Return to Love' by my bass player who had recently lost his
girlfriend to Leukemia. The tape sat in my studio for several
weeks and I never listened to it. I would get phone calls
from him at least three times a week asking me about the tape.
"Gary, did you listen to it? It's great, Gary you have to
hear it"! I continued putting him and the tape off. I had
planned a short trip down to Islamorada for a few days, it
was about a two hour drive from my house when I lived in Florida.
I popped the tape in the car and I started listening to what
Marianne had to say. After listening to it for 15-20 minutes,
my wife leaned over to the volume knob and I thought she was
going to turn it off, she turned it up instead! We listened
to the whole tape several times during that 2 day trip. Marianne's
book is based on "A Course in Miracles" (ACIM) book. I won't
get into details here, find out for yourself. So I decided
to get the ACIM book. As fate would have it, my mother-in-law
was given the book by a friend that same year so she gave
it to me. Let me try to shorten this story. From the readings
and teachings of ACIM, I became so inspired and in touch with
the Oneness of God, the inspirational musical composing started
flowing through me. I am destined to share this music with
everyone as it touches a part of all of us. The Gentle Awakening
is the first of 2 cd's which I recorded. I now have "To
Be Free" also available. - Gary
