Thank you Mark!Sitting at my campsite here in TN with tears in my eyes listening to this incredible interview that my new friend Mark Judkins-Helpsmeet facilitated through Northern Spirit Radio. Mark contacted me last summer when he heard my raw version of “How Can I Keep From Singing” that I arranged from a. Little travel trailer in Port Townsend, WA while praying for folks in the path of hurricane Irma in 2017. Through out the summer he relentlessly nudged me to do this interview , and I'm so glad we finally got around to doing it . It felt so nice to tell a bit of my story and to share about my music and my work. I've been doing a lot of reflecting lately on my insanely interesting life experiences so far , and this was a great way to be witnessed and to put it out there. Sometimes all of the stuff just gets swirly up in my head and I have too much to share and not enough outlets for it . I hope you all get a chance to listen and to enjoy the story of my life work and my music . Thanks again Mark , you did a great job of boiling down my rambling story teller impulses . I feel lifted up by your friendship . | |

Mary Lou Fulton was very well spokenI really enjoyed listening to your latest episode of songs of the soul with Mary Lou Fulton. I thought she was very well spoken as well as having a very good collection of songs. One interesting point of the conversation was that she began her song writing at the age of 50 and I also began writing songs when I was 51 or 52. And coincidentally you also began song of the Soul at the same time in your life. Keep up the great work. | |

Wonderful album. Wonderful interview.In1993, I went through a divorce in Tempe and two artist friends decided that the cure for my "sads" was checking out the local piano bar scenes. We never got past the one where Idris Phillips (I'll use his current name) was valiantly trying to work his music magic over the clamor of horse races and betting. Before we left that night , we made arrangements for him to move in as "roomie" during his divorce.. He was like a kind of brilliant, talented much younger cousin who let me tag along to gigs. I was painting and showing in galleries, so the living room smelled like oil paint and echoed with wistful keyboard stories. That time shaped the rest of my art life, gave me new musician friends and, I think, gave him a safe place and platform to make the break from toxic to finding the beautiful world I hear him describe on your show. Wonderful album. Wonderful interview. | |

Preparation, wisdom, wit, gentleness, clarity, and generosityThanks for having me on with you Mark! I've been interviewed hundreds of times, and you are way out ahead of "the pack" with your preparation, wisdom, wit, gentleness, clarity and generosity of spirit when you have guests on your shows. You're a treasure and a wonderful role model for any of us who aspire to being better "listeners" in this old "info-loaded" world of ours! Keep on! Looking forward to our next show! xx, Peter | |
