SONGS AND CREDITS

  1. Mist and Light (6:46)

    Any trip to the coast of the Olympic Peninsula involves mist and bands of sunlight, the dawn of hope piercing through, making it possible to listen and divine a way.

  2. Water Buddha Boy (4:31)

    In the sun, the quiet of a young life at peace, sitting alone by the lake without distraction.

  3. Hunts Point Blues (4:02)

    Other times, we just have the blues — it is a strong wave we ride so that it moves on.

  4. Storm is Gone (5:18)

    The struggle to remember who we are, emerging into the light, the storm is gone.
    (A performance with vocal and lyrics is available separately, unpublished)

  5. Samba Cachi (6:30)

    Give us some sun in the northwest, and we are as condors flying south and back on a wing and a prayer!

  6. Higher Ground (5:16)

    Dedicated to mom, Jeanne E. Bluechel; always looking for and found a road to higher ground.
