New Stuff: Visit UniversalChanting.com to learn more about Live From the Heart, the Universal Chanting CD from Jon Seskevich featuring many of the Circle of Friends, including Yours Truly.  Also: watch this space for news of the new CD, "Vasu," to be released soon!

I Send a Voice, by Mark Smith and Circle of FriendsI Send a Voice, is a CD collection of 12 original & traditional CHANTS that spring from devotional chanting that's been happening in North Carolina's Piedmont for the last 20 years and more, sung by circles of friends in living rooms, gazebos, lodges, rallies, fire circles, churches, hospitals, porches - werever the Spirit rises.

These were recorded live, very simply, in a well-known Gothic edifice in Durham on two summer nights. Fifteen voices, guitar, flute, violin, piano, didgeridoo, harmonium, drums & percussion, an example of what can happen when some friends get together to celebrate life. We didn't have much time, there were few second takes, a few clinkers, and a lot of moments beyond expectation or explanation.

Below are a few sound bytes from the CD for you to click and enjoy. Turn it up and sing along! To find out how to order a copy of your very own, click the CD cover, stage right...
