She explains: "This album is my way to help people go through the hard times and get past their fear and know they can instead choose hope. Music and laughter helps. Music, the universal language can be part of the healing. It's my hope that when you heart this album you'll feel better" "Without getting preachy, I feel that mankind is coming to a realization. We're slowly getting it….. that we're all in the same boat and we can choose to make the big changes for the better. We have to change our ideology away from scarcity and fear, and realize that we're basically good and that we're really resilient and capable of great compassion, love and positive things.. It's time to make love to the planet, not hurt her. Look how beautiful she is!" |
Sandy's NotesThe Garden
The garden is the place within ... the power place, the inner source inside each of us where we can each go for guidance, strength and answers - it's all there. The double reference is the Garden of Eden, however one interprets it. Just a Dream To quote Edgar Alan Poe: "All that we may do or deem is but a dream within a dream." Now, that’s something to ponder isn't it? This song refers to the illusions of life. We attach the importance to an event, an idea. It doesn't always turn out the way you think. I wrote this with Pam Wolfe and Benita Hill and the idea sparked about love - falling and in and out of it and what if we fell in love and stayed that way? It's a fun way to look at life and the folly of it. Simple Songs This is a kind of stream of consciousness, just simple songs, a dream like state of pictures. I was kinda stoned and just free associating. People love the melody ... it sticks with you especially the chorus. We 're All Angels I went to Denver for a conference and took a class with a woman named Bernadette Brady and a five hour post conference symposium. She discussed mankind emanating from nature. Once I wrote this song, it tied the whole album together: the inter-connectedness. Heaven's Door This is my fantasy visualizing what happens when we die and pass through this life dancing and having a hell of a good time pleasing the painter- God, spirit, someone bigger than us. Come Be with Me I wrote this with Benita Hill when all the planets were in Leo (what does this mean ... explain ?) It's a beautiful melody and I got violin player (who) to make it special. All Your Life Well, it has three parts to it- the beginning- man and memory, second-when woman meets the love of her life the third is the special part that comes from within. I added violin solos to interspersed surrounding and supporting the melody and lyrics. Will It be Broken? If we’re not careful we can break it for good - the planet - each other. If we hurt animal ... hurt other ... hurt ourselves ... we will implode but, we can also make wise choices and evolve. We need a gentle heart. If I Hadn’t Loved You I wrote this for special person who changed my life but, the sentiment applies to self-love too. If you feel this for someone well great….. but, if you can feel this way about yourself and achieve self-love, even better. It's about the ultimate love….. self….. self acceptance, nurturing, peace. Out There and In Here/Sailing This is a mix of synthesizer, vocals and drums. Out there refers to reaching out beyond yourself to connect ... sailing ... letting the soul go ... the beginning is the end as we are all part of the cycle and if you were kind enough in life your soul will soar and you will sail. |
Art Work Path to the Mountain Top
© Joseph Parker
A print of this work has hung in Sandy’s studio since 1975,
and is in the current office of Good Music.
Commentary by the Artist: "Attaining the mountain top has a spiritual meaning as follows:
All human souls on this planet are in a school of learning to perfect themselves in order to attain a higher state of being.
I have painted the mountains very steep because as the soul masters the difficulties on the path,
more difficult tests lie ahead. Once the soul reaches the peak, it attains what the Buddhists call Nirvana.
Then the soul does not need to be reborn, but continues its evolution in the Spiritual Sun that surrounds the physical sun. On the top of the mountain is a holy being radiating out love in all directions."

Joseph Parker has the honor of being the "grand dad" of all the current visionary artists
- releasing his canvases as early as the mid 1960’s - leading the way for all the others that have followed. At a certain point in his life, Joseph had some transformation spiritual experiences that abruptly shifted his life's focus
from being a "business man" to a visionary artist. His characteristic kaleidoscopic sunsets represent to him, not just beautiful sunsets, but actual living higher-dimensional light beings radiating brilliant rays of Light and Life! Joseph currently lives with his wife Joyce in southern California, where he is currently devoting
much of his energies to philosophical spiritual pursuits. He is one of the featured artists in Iasos’ video program.
