When i first heard Loraine Washburn sing i knew that i had to write something in a style that would fit her unique sound.This celtic/folk tune was the result.She is a talent that you do not see everyday and i am honored to have her voice on this CD.

Band to Lou Rawls.But an illness while serving in the U.S. Army Changed his course in music forever as he tells in his own words..."In 1983 i was wondering what would i do after suffering from a servere illness and spending most of my life learning to be a performing musician,then one afternoon i watch a movie that did not do so well at the box office in 1982...Blade Runner.it seemed every song in every scene of that film fit so well...it was like i could hear what Vangelis was feeling when he wrote Memories of Green,Blade Runner's Blues and Racheal's Theme. It was the movie and that film score that it hit me,then i knew that this was something i would very much want to do" Comments from John in 2009.

Bell,Book and Candle 1st verse: safe Journeys my friend... winter is coming and autumn's at end. time for the coven let solstice begin... bell,book and candle. 2nd verse: the elders will know... members of wicca will follow the snows. sharing their knowledge of time long ago... bell,book and candle. bridge: feel...the cold...breeze... as it runs ..thru the trees.. and see...the snow fall... in the wintertime. 3rd verse: safe journeys my friend.. until we meet at the house of our kin. singing and dancing till solstice time ends... bell,book and candle. 4th verse: blessed be...goodbye by friend... till summer solstice we'll be joined again... passing the knowledge of long loven kin. bell,book and candle...
