I come to you defenses down with the trust of a child.

At the heart, it is world music that I do. It's all connections. Ultimately, we're all connected.

With no guilt and no shame, no sorrow or blame. Whatever it is, we are all the same.

To keeping silence I resigned My friends would think I was a nut Turning water into wine Open doors would soon be shut So I went from day to day Though my life was in a rut 'Til I thought of what I'd say Which connection I should cut

I stood in this unsheltered place, 'til I could see the face behind the face.

I was introduced to lots of great music through my local record store. It was a place where people knew music and they knew me, and could make great suggestions and discoveries. Whether it is in the physical world or on-line, the value of a great and knowledgeable record store has not gone away
