Baraka Bashad Baraka Bashad
The words "Baraka Bashad" are from the ancient Pali language and simply mean "May The Blessings Be!" I wrote & arranged this song with a light, Caribbean feel to it. Bruce Wozny plays guitar & sings back-up; I do the lead vocal & other instruments.

Only HU Only HU
If this were a commercial song, I would call it "Only You." It is a pop ballad that stresses the importance of the word "HU" (pronounced "hue") -- an ancient love song to God that anyone can use anytime to gain insight, protection, or joy.

Ballad of the Forgotten Soul Ballad of the Forgotten Soul
A pop-rock song with a dramatic warning about the oblivion we can all sink into when we take our minds and hearts off of giving & receiving love. Lead vocal & electric instruments played by myself; superb guitar & back-up vocals by Bruce Wozny.
