My dear friends and fans,
As most of you who know anything about my life thus far, know that my first
love is the guitar...Jimi Hendrix was a huge inspiration to me. Fortunately, rock and roll was the beginning of a long and
successful walk I chose early in life. I feel I have been very blessed
in my life, and each and every day I thank the Creator for showing me
ways to enrich my own life, and somehow bring some small joy to
others.
The
sun has always been one of my "connections" throughout my
life. When I ride my paint horse through the streams and fields, I
bask in the warm rays of the sun, and I also look to the sun, and feel
its warm rays of enlightenment. At a very special ceremony, a Lakota
friend played his Native American love flute, bringing peace and
happiness to all guests and family present at my Cherokee wedding
ceremony. After hearing such sounds coming from heaven, I knew then that
I had to learn to play the Native American flute. I had never heard such
a lovely, spiritual and tender instrument. He gifted me with a flute,
and as I began to learn to play, it touched me so and moved me, that I
began a journey that would take my heart back through the past, into the
present...and sometimes seeing my own future as a father, husband,
musician and Native American. This instrument of love and tenderness
inspired my CD: "The Sun Chaser" Love
Songs On Native American Flute.
This
CD is for you: the hearts I will never forget, as they passed through my
life, good or bad memories…they were meant to be, and lessons that
were learned. It's for the lovers of love songs and laughter...where
hearts and eyes see newborn sons…and loving wives.
Friends, do not
take this title as how one who "chases the sun" literally, but
take it as "chasing your dreams"..."chasing your
destiny"..."chasing love", finding and needing love,
remembering how it was...when you were so dearly loved, and you
returned that love, or tried to.
This CD is for all the people who believe in dreams...as I
do.
This CD is for my son...my "tender mercies"...my
little man...my heart...my life...may he grow into a fine, caring,
and loving young man, and may he take all that is strong and good
from his father...and all that is sweet, tender, and loving from his
mother, a kind and giving woman.
This CD is also for you, my friends.
I hope you enjoy these songs I have written, arranged, produced
and performed for you...with heartfelt love in every note I played,
because each and every one of you mean as much to me as a new
"dawning day", or the sunlight through the trees in the
afternoon. "Cherokee
love songs…from a Cherokee man", is how one critic sees it.
“Thanks” I said...but I think everyone will listen...and everyone
will hear their song...that one song that they can relate
too...just right...as the flute takes you to that place in the sun.
As you
are, and as I will always be...The Sun Chaser.
Yours,
Micki Free
