"I remember being very young (maybe four or five) and just loving everyone and everything. It seemed to take a long time for me to develop any sense of a boundary between myself and the so-called outside world.

I started playing guitar and singing at age seven and made my living with music all of my life. In my early twenties after reading one of Ram Dass's books about Neem Karoli Baba I began having his darshan in dreams. I would wake up with tears in my eyes, my heart aching from the sweetness. These experiences just blew me wide open, and I started having the experience once again that there really is no boundary between myself and everything else.

After returning from a trip to India in 1993 I was diagnosed with Leukemia and was told that I had six months to live. A week later I suddenly developed complications and was told that I had twenty-four hours. I sat up in bed and started meditating, slowing my breath and concentrating on a very still and silent point inside. A week later I left the hospital and a month later received a bone-marrow transplant.

During the transplant I remember making one on those deals with God that sounded something like ..."you get me through this one and I'll really do the music that I came here to do."

While healing from the transplant I met Gangaji at a Satsang in Santa Fe, New Mexico and realized she was describing and being this truth that I had always known. I started following her wherever she went and performed at many of her Satsangs. (She put my song "So Many Blessings"on her River of Freedom Video.) The music just kept pouring out. I experienced a truth that was bigger than all of my concepts about it. And I guess it's just natural to sing about what you love.
