Lu Mitchell ~ "This Too Shall Pass"~ www.lumitchell.com
The softer side of Lu, best known for her rollicking satire, with a sincere and comforting song of patience and compromise, written to console troubled souls. Direct and honest lyrics, complemented by sonorous cello and accented by Lu’s sensitive strumming.
“You have your hill to climb, I have one too. Each one must find a way, truth to pursue. Winter with chilly winds, passes when spring begins. This too shall pass, this too shall pass.”

Linda Petty ~ "The Time Is Now" ~ www.lindapetty.com
A Dallas legend for her renditions of classic ballads and showtunes, Linda truly shines on this original from band member Frank DeLeon. A peppy pace and lush orchestrated arrangement enliven the song of living life in the moment and releasing our tamped down emotions so that spirit can be free.
“There's a time for us. There's a time to realize how we can be. There's a soul inside, calling out to break away and set us free. The time is now.”
Geoffrey Ricketts and Matt Woodbury ~ "To the Tree" ~ www.harps-of-avalon.com
Written especially for Winter SolstiCelebration 2005, with its theme of World Tree, this majestic stately piece features Geoffrey’s gorgeous classical harp and Matt’s profound baritone voice. Traditions and thoughts of ancient spiritual paths merge with the modern to create an inspirational aria for the natural world.
“Your roots have been my path, to the underworld, where the old ones share their secrets… I ponder your majesty, life force pulsing just out of sight, knowledge of the ages, buried in the pillar of your trunk.“
