Liner, Listening & Album Notes:

From the album’s liner notes:

In your heart lives your dream of an island . . . a wonderland of abrupt green mountains, spilling toward the great living jewel that is the sea of velvet valleys encasing the quick metal of their waters, spanned by rainbow bridges… the face of its beauty veiled in transparent mists, softly moved by the breath of winds sweet with the souls of number-less flowers …framed with leis of curling surf and sands of many colors …wearing the sky like a mantle, and clouds like a crown. No two persons look upon it and see the same things, for no two persons dream the same dreams. But …this is the magic …This is your dream and it is real …yours to discover, and to prove …yours to live and to love. And as you live in your dream, your dream lives in you …forever.
