“Hope” is the thing with feathers by Emily Dickinson (1951) “Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all - And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm - That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm - I’ve heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me.

about

This album was recorded during the first 4 months of 2020 at Gloria Studio in Prescott Arizona.
I was laid off from work March 18 - June 1 due to Covid-19 so these compositions reflect the state of the world and how I choose to be during that kind of an environment.
At an appropriate moment, I was given a God cookie in the form of the Emily Dickinson poem, “Hope Is The Thing With Feathers” which I resonated with quite deeply. So I set about trying to describe this feeling of hope as a sound track for unfolding emotions on the title track. This became the focal point of this album which the other songs gathered around. May you be blessed now and every moment of your life.
