Music My Muse

"Singer-songwriter Wendy Luella Perkins is a hidden gem on the Canadian folk music scene. Her songs offer glimpses into the simple joys and small tragedies of day-to-day living. Folks can't help but sing along to her catchy choruses, which leave listeners with good vibrations all-around."

Soulful Singing%u2122 is all embracing , nurturing and awakens the connection we have with one another. I really appreciate the time we spend together singing, incorporating rhythmic instruments in the moment, the tea, treats and conversation afterwards an extension of renewing and rejoicing the friendships we are gifted with.

I love the spontaneity and creative nature of the group and of course our group leader Wendy, who sets the tone. If you can't Soulful Sing with the group, then pick up one of Wendy's CD's and sing along while you do the dishes.

I've had this CD for eight years. It was the CD that I played during three of my births and listen to often. One of my favourite songs on this CD is "The End of Suffering" sung by Vietnamese monk, Phap Niem, music by Gary Malkin. The version I have posted below in the YouTube video is from the CD "Graceful Passages" a collection of various spiritual teacher from several religions, talking and giving advice to the dying. On this CD, "The End of Suffering" sung by Vietnamese monk, Phap Niem, music by Gary Malkin has spoken word from Thich Nhat Hanh.
