I live in a country whose culture and codes differ greatly from those I learned growing up in the U.S. Whereas I believe that one can never completely dissolve these fundamental differences; it's funny how certain experiences make you realize that somewhere along the way the roots will tend to entangle themselves. Things become familiar and you find yourself becoming a part of a second culture. You make up funny combinations of words, your thought patterns resemble those of others around you, your temperament learns a new vocabulary and you are introduced to a part of yourself that may or may not have already existed. Surprise. You're not a foreigner and you're not a native And yet you are both.

Then a greater surprise arises when you find your music becoming an unpredictable blend of all these elements.

This blend is the essence of Lit'l Song.

I consider myself fortunate that this music chose me as its voice.

Instruments that I had never heard together were to join, forming a warm emotional layering of sound and soul.

We all originate from the same source and share the same simple truths; the pipes and cello both mourn, oud and sax psalm, bass and tabla dance, piano and guitar reminisce and voices cry out. All are present in all. All are one.

For us...it was just a matter of Wandering Home.
