Intimate & Inspiring with Merging Hearts

Posted on June 13, 2011 by Casey Wise

Good times were had yet again with a small yet energized group this past Friday June, 10. The line-up again consisted of Craig, Casey, Mike and Sue. We mixed things up a little with some oldies and tweaked a few new ones including In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel.

Thanks again to Merging Hearts for having us. We’re looking forward to more!

Had an excellent time in our first visit with the Merging Hearts group at their new Holistic Center. Sue sang with us as we reacquainted with our pals.

Riding another Music High

Posted on February 22, 2011 by mike

Making music with the group Sunday was great! We were playing for a vinyasa class (yoga w/ live music). I really enjoyed playing unamplified because we achieved a nice blend of percussion, harmonium, vocals and classical guitar. We were supporting a mission trip by Univ. of Akron students traveling to New Orleans to help with post-Katrina rebuilding efforts. It is an alternative spring break (selfless service instead of self indulgence). I first got into guitar because I wanted to use music as a platform for making political statements, but I fell in love with music and lost my inclination to sully it with my opinions. Kirtan suits me very well: celebrating Spirit, Nature, Love and the communion of mind, body and breath.

Happy Birthday and Congratulations

We had a fulfilling and rewarding time last night playing for Laura Lynn and her group celebrating her birthday + wedding at the Goodyear Metroparks shelter in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

We played some selections from the Beatles and our standard fare for about 90 minutes. Met a whole new batch of good people and very much enjoyed the abundant food and drink.

Thanks so much to Laura Lynn and her group for having us.
