It was Gandhi’s day of silence, respite from his demanding speaking sched

Tropical Storm Erika - Nature Turned Against the Nature Isle

I am from the island of Dominica, the Nature Island of the Caribbean. One of the first things that every Dominican child learns is that we have 365 rivers; one for every day of the year. This has always been one of our richest blessings. We speak proudly of our rivers in poems, songs and travel magazines and to every stranger that we meet for we know that God has blessed our country like no other with these glorious bodies of abundant, fresh, clean water originating from the pristine, green mountains.

Don’t Blame The Drummer: The Fickle Singer/Songwriter

What Do You Think? There is great irony in a songwriter relying heavily on a drummer, thus minimizing their role in the creation of their own tunes. But that’s what I witnessed when working with many singer/songwriters in the 1990’s. I wonder, to what degree did Gershwin, Beethoven, Hamlish and other notable composers, rely on their drummers/percussionists for the principal ideas of their music? My guess is not much at all. Yet, time and time again, I’d work with singer
