about

The last in my series of Self Quarentet recordings, I'm calling this "Mostly...Who Know" because of the large, looming question mark of the future of human beings on this planet. We're dealing crises on every front: health, ecology, spirituality, politics, ethnicity and identity, you name it.

These projects have sustained me throughout the (still enduring) Covid-19 pandemic. I thought by the time I released the last of the series the crisis of the virus would be more or less contained, and we would be moving on with life on the planet, directing our attention towards other things of great value and importance, such as the life of the planet herself.

Alas. It was not to be.

Art, however, can give clarity and perspective. I hope you find something like that in these 12 tracks of music. My love and my heart goes out to each of you that are listening to this.
