Keys to the Kingsley was completed at 2:00 am on 11/11/11. All but two of the songs were conceived on keyboards, hence the Keys… and Kingsley is my middle name. These are wild days on the planet, with life seeming to be accelerating, and with the landscape changing in radical ways. Old systems of government and economics are collapsing, and new ways of perceiving and communicating are taking form at grass root levels, all around the world. This album explores this time of great transformation from a personal perspective. I’m now 55 (5 sets of 11), and I find myself looking at the whole of my life in this spacious present moment, as I align with the changes occurring within me and all around me. Life is a great adventure, now more than ever, and this album reflects that wide dynamic ranging spirit. It is an epitaph for endings, and an invocation for new beginnings. I hope you enjoy the listen, as much as I enjoyed the creation.
