Hello to all Dreamwalkers out there,

The last two weeks have become transformational in the Dreamwalkers world. There are moments in every group effort where the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts, and if it happens organically, there is magic in the air. As we head towards our first gig, the last two rehearsals with this group had that magic floating around as we played. It was as if we not only knew the songs, but we knew each other. Drummer Daniel (The Heartbeat) Polyak said, "We can be musicians or we can be artists, I chose to be an artist." 

I've felt that once we had a gig to point towards, there would be a sharper focus. I didn't realize how powerful the shift would be. Original songs are being played with greater flow and more emotion. Cover tunes sparkle with depth and creativity. The enthusiasm each band member has for the ongoing evolution of our band, and loyalty and support for each other in the quest for a better sound is impressive. 

Dave Ross' integration into the band is complete and his voice has naturally flowed into our arrangements. He has taken the lead on several songs, Bravo, Dave. He is even acquiring a Dreamwalkers nickname (Old Yeller). Daniel (The Heartbeat) Polyak provides the bedrock of our sound, Tony (Mysterious Angel) Sheppard is opening to new levels of brilliance on guitar and Debbie (The Queen of Harmony) is writing new wonderful songs and puts a professional touch on everything we do, especially the vocals. In the midst of our progress is the album, step by step being recorded right by Patrick Russini. It is my great privilege to be playing with these wonderful artists and terrific people. 

Our first gig is for the Myakka Moonlighters, November 21, 6-9. Details to follow.

Peace,

Dr Dreamwalker
