On The Path I teamed up with Bob Magnusson to do a collection of guitar and bass duets. It was happening! We also gathered some of our friends to play on some of the more produced tunes. This quote from Pablo Casals, the great cellist, was an inspiration for one of the songs we recorded.
"To be a musician is a great privilege, but also a very great responsibility. One must think that to be a musician is a gift-a gift from nature. There is no great merit in us except in loving this gift with respect and devotion and doing everything possible to do honor to that gift by work and more work. We must work with conviction and humility-searching for beauty, simplicity-not for effect, but for truth. And it is for us musicians to do all in our power for a better world. Music must carry the message of beauty, of love, and of peace".
