The Apple Tree
17, Dec 2009[Reposted from LaughingTree.org]
I love Christmas carols, often starting into my Christmas playlist in early October. Maybe it’s because I was born so close to Christmas, but I find these songs so rich and moving.
When I recorded my first album, Tonic, I opened it with a carol, O Come, O Come Emmanuel. Then we moved to [...]
A Felicitous Encounter
20, Nov 2009Today was our fourth and final day in Balti/Falesti, Moldova visiting Felicia. We’ve had an amazing time. Everything has been even better than we had imagined, and I think we were able to encourage Felicia in addition to spoiling her with some nice things. On top of that, we had two nice afternoons getting to [...]
We’re Going to Meet Felicia
9, Nov 2009Four years ago, Adam and I saw this adorable photo of seven-year-old Felicia Stavila, and we knew we had to love her. Felicia lives in an orphanage in the little village of Falesti, Moldova. Moldova is one of the smallest and poorest countries in Europe– a tiny crescent between Romania and the Ukraine.
Moldova has an [...]
It was a Sweet Soiree
18, Sep 2009We had a great time at the Sweet Sleep Soiree tonight. Thanks to Jen, Jon and Stuart for all they’re doing for orphans in Moldova, Uganda and Haiti. Jen Gash (the super hero and founder of Sweet Sleep) shared about the dire need for beds, bedding, and mosquito nets for the orphans and displaced children [...]
Mawwiage, what bwings us togevuh today…*
14, Sep 2009One thing about living abroad is that we’re a bit out of the loop. Today marks the second time we’ve run into a friend who, three years ago, was in our “young married” circle either through church or socially that when we ask how their wife and young kids are, the answer is a stammering, [...]
Lightfield: creativity is your gift
11, Sep 2009Our friend recently hipped us to a great blog called Lightfield (www.whatislightfield.com) where they dig into a broad range of topics related to creativity, arts, culture, and responsibility to the world we live in. On their about page, they say, “Lightfield connects creatives and their art with the needs of others in our towns, cities, [...]
Back to Nashville
3, Sep 2009It rained and stormed last night and echoed through our empty house. I got out of bed, which is a mattress on the floor, and watched the rain through the window in the front door and listened to the unfamiliar sounds reverberating through the empty house. It was so peaceful.
Now it is morning , and [...]
A flurry
3, Jun 2009My body is all jittery and my belly fluttery. You’ve probably seen the flurry of activity on this site recently, what with a new layout, maps, CDs, tweets, art shows, and a new professional site… that flurry of cyber activity is moderately indicative of the frenzy that has been our life in the past few [...]

Thank you, Hana!

A little help from our friends…

It’s a collection of lullabies from around the world, blending various languages, musical styles and ambient sounds found in everyday life (riding a bicycle, washing dishes, cars passing by, birds…). We recorded [...]
