It’s May 13th, my mom’s 89th birthday—coming down the home stretch of this new album that began on January 1, the first day of the new decade. Simultaneously, we began a global dance with a virus. The world is a different place, and life itself is in the balance…or so it seems. The opening words of this new project are a paraphrasing of Emerson: “What is coming and what has been, are but small details for the light awakening within.” These words have been very much with me as we traverse this strange time. Strange, yes…and also deeply inward, rich with space and insight.

My previous album, Notes from the Bus Stop, explored “forever in the fleeting,” the magic and transcendence of the life right under my nose. Muse in Love reaches for the vibration of the place the Bus will take us. The projector is smiling.

If you’re reading this, you must be a good friend. Thank you. Enjoy the dance with the Muse as she comes to you.         

Love and Light,

Doug
