Affirmation

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Back in the day!

I was sitting here in my studio listening to Chaka Khan's live concerts from previous tours. Wow!! what a great time I had with CK back in the 90's. I just had to share this wonderful experience with my visiting friends. Here are a few songs from the Chaka Khan 1996 tour of Italy.

Featuring: Chaka Khan: Lead Vocals - Melvin Lee Davis: 6 String Bass - Michael Campbell: Guitar - Mark Stephens: Keyboards - Tony Morris: Keyboards, EWI, Tenor Saxophone - Aaron Heick Jr.,: Alto Saxophone, percussion - Michael Bland: Drums - Lisa Vaughn: Backing Vocals - Audrey Wheeler:
Backing Vocals - Penny Ford: Backing Vocals.


Note: This recording is from the mixing console in front of house. So, you're getting everything from that evening, including the fact that the kick drum microphone wasn't working for the first half of "This Is My Night" . :)
