Mardi Gras Essentials CD

Digitally remastered by Erick Labson (MCA Music Media Studios, North Hollywood, California).

A 16-track collection that shows the whole world how to party during Mardi Gras time in New Orleans, this compilation features some fun tracks from a fine sampling of Louisiana bands playing all kinds of music. Featured are tunes from artists like the Neville Brothers, Dr. John, Professor Longhair, and Sugar Boy Crawford, among others. Mardi Gras Essentials offers a fine substitute for road-tripping to New Orleans with a car full of beer and beads, and brings a hint of spring to an otherwise dark time. ~ Stacia Proefrock

Indie Music has been quoted to say that "Christy could change the world with her songs.” Christy’s flute music is enchanting. This meditative music is much more than just relaxing, it is healing and transformational. The first of the flute CDs, “Remembering The Way,” put to use the power of intention through music. Christy focused her energy and intention on each topic allowing each track to be Spirit led and healing. “Spirit Dance” captured the sacredness and intensity of the New Mexico desert where it was recorded live in 2004. The most recent of Christy’s flute CDs is a NEW 2007 release recorded with fellow recording artist Jack Fowler. This new CD “Spiraling Into Infinity” is sure to be a favorite among yoga instructors, massage therapists and meditation groups. This new CD introduces a different approach adding Jack’s atmospheric keyboard music but also the selections on this CD were played in seven specific keys to energetically guide the listener/participant through a healing chakra experience.

Christy believes that we are each our own spiritual authority and as a spiritual teacher her job is to assist others in tuning into their inner guidance of love and peace, through which all things are possible.*********************************************************************************************************************Jack
