about

This was inspired by the very first talk given at Unity church in Albany by Rev. Crystal Muldrow. Her enthusiasm, and presence of mind on the idea of "amen" or "so be it" was inspiring and enlightening... And when I get inspired? Uh huh. I write songs...

This track features the amazing guitar playing of my longtime friend and musical collaborator, Gene Moore I even love the "buzz" of his amplifier in the beginning and I insisted we leave it in as it adds a certain "electricity" to the vibe of the song.

Of course the whole tune is deftly transformed from my solo acoustic version by Joe Mennonna's usual fabulous arranging/production chops.

It was also a special treat to have amazing vocalist and healer Joy Adler contribute her positive energy and "touch" to this song.

about

Mark Shepard Albany, New York

Welcome to my “Life In Song” project.

Since 1976, I’ve been obsessively and compulsively writing songs. Some of them are inspired by my own life, my attempts to understand love, life, spirituality, peace and justice.

While I recently have started to get a little recognition, you’ve probably never heard my songs ANYWHERE.

But now you can hear them... here... Download. Share. Thanks!
