1. "Love is Who You Are" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 4:14 Style: Contemporary Folk Description: A look at the ageless question, "What is love, anyway?" Is it something you give or get, have or make? Or could it be, down deep, simply who we are? Lyric Excerpt: With whatever you can get, you make your living, Listen to mp3 - Click here if you have a broadband (fast) connection.

2. "Celebrate Life" written by Tupelo and Janey Kenyon - 3:13 Style: Folk Rock Description: A reminder to live passionately today, right now, because the end of this life can come arbitrarily, suddenly, unexpectedly, at any moment. So, why not live this moment to the fullest? Create your own personal celebration of life by your choices, rather than allowing life to be something that merely happens to you, or around you.

3. "All That We Take With Us" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 4:22 Style: Contemporary Folk Description: We all have tough times, periods of sadness and grief. Even sorrow brings us gifts of deeper understanding and a clearer perspective of what is really important. When Janey was going through a life changing time of saying goodbye to her father, she said she was helped through that tough period by these words of encouragement. Lyric Excerpt: And even though you're hurting now, the hurting will not last, Listen to mp3 - Click here if you have a broadband (fast) connection.

4. "Traveler" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 3:43 Style: Country Rock Description: Traveling is such a great educator, and such an effective prejudice buster. Can you ever really understand the viewpoint of "foreigners" without walking a mile in their shoes? This applies to physical traveling around the planet, as well as flights of fancy into other realms. Hearing about another's experiences can be inspiring, but to really know for sure what it's like, there's nothing like personal experience. "Go, so you will know." Lyric Excerpt: When you meet a traveler again, are you going to call him your friend, When you meet a traveler on your way, are you going to go are will you stay, Listen to mp3 - Click here if you have a broadband (fast) connection.

5. "Lovin' Gold" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 3:05 Style: Contemporary Country/Folk Description: Having someone to share the details of your life with is bound to be one of the very best definitions of living a wealthy life. Someone to love, dream and grow with through the years is a wonderful way to feel rich, complete with the potential for compounding interest over a lifetime. Lyric Excerpt: Your lovin' gold can chase away the cold, Listen to mp3 - Click here if you have a broadband (fast) connection. View Lyrics on Screen | Download Lyrics and Chord Chart (.pdf)
6. "Within Without" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 1:57 Style: Soft Rock Poetry Description: It's fascinating to think about the similarities between a tiny atom and a mighty solar system. The only significant difference is one of scale, and that depends upon the point of reference. They are virtually the same thing - mostly empty space! Even quantum physics is still wondering, "Is the universe a great big thing, or a great big thought?" Lyric Excerpt: The order of the universe remains . . . within, without, Listen to mp3 - Click here if you have a broadband (fast) connection.

7. "Same Olde Time" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 3:37 Style: Soft Rock Description: The idea of perspective is examined from different angles, which reveals the arbitrary nature of time. It's all so relative. "What if distant starlight shining in the endless sky is just the same, by a different name, as the twinkle in your eye?" Lyric Excerpt: Imagination launches us a zillion miles through space, It's the same old time that it always has been, same old time it's going to be, Listen to mp3 - Click here if you have a broadband (fast) connection.

8. "Endless Journey" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 4:46 Style: Contemporary Folk Description: Traveling has so many gifts to give! Spectacular scenery, interesting cultural differences, and the inspiring people you'll meet. What a well-rounded education is provided by getting away and looking around . . . and, it's an inspiring education that never has to end. Lyric Excerpt: There are roads I haven't traveled, there are skies I haven't flown, Listen to mp3 - Click here if you have a broadband (fast) connection.

9. "Be Kind" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 5:41 Style: Contemporary Folk/Reggae Description: To do what you do simply because you love doing it has many rewards. The way it makes you feel is apparent, but what happens behind the scenes can be amazing. Your example and the kindness shown to others can have a rippling affect that goes on and on and on, far beyond our own personal sphere of influence. Lyric Excerpt: The way we live our life is like a pebble dropped . . . into a quiet pool, Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting battles too, Listen to mp3 - Click here if you have a broadband (fast) connection.

10. "Do What You Love" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 4:17 Style: Country Rock Description: Spending the limited moments of our lives doing the activities we truly love brings its own rewards. Discovering what we have a true passion for, and then figuring out a way to build a life around that passion is one of life's greatest feelings of accomplishment. Lyric Excerpt: And no one but you can find the answer to your quest, Listen to mp3 - Click here if you have a broadband (fast) connection.

11. "I'd Still Marry You" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 3:43 Style: Contemporary Folk Description: Sometimes, the people closest to us could use a little lift. For instance, a good time to reaffirm your feelings for someone could be around their birthday or anniversary, especially if they happen to occur around the same time, and especially if there is a zero involved. Let them know how you feel, even if they already know. Lyric Excerpt: Remember when it started, many years ago, Listen to mp3 - Click here if you have a broadband (fast) connection.

12. "Just One Step" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 3:28 Style: Folk/Rock/Bluegrass Description: Just begin. That's half the battle. Whatever the project, if you will just get underway with that first step, you will find the project itself gains momentum and carries you along to its completion. The simple act of beginning plus the simplicity of following through, one step at a time, works wonders. Choose your own direction because nobody else has any idea what you should do, although many will try to tell you anyway. Lyric Excerpt: Well, I should do this, and I should do that, Listen to mp3 - Click here if you have a broadband (fast) connection. View Lyrics on Screen | Download Lyrics and Chord Chart (.pdf)
13. "Live From Your Heart" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 4:53 Style: New Country/Folk Description: This timeless advice given to me by my grandmother in her golden years is as true and timeless today as it was thousands of years ago. We all come from a long, long, long line of love. And our lives are enhanced exponentially when we interact with one another as if that mattered. "Live from your heart."

14. "Fill 'o the Fair" written by Tupelo Kenyon - 4:36 Style: Contemporary Folk Description: There are so many wonderful experiences made possible by these marvelous bodies made available to us for a limited period of time.

Listener Comments I wanted to send you some of my thoughts and feelings I have about your loving, wisdom inspired music. In fact, the other day I came home and Luis had The Traveler playing loudly. Before I knew it, I was dancing a jig, I kid you not! It was just a zing of joy and before I knew it I was dancing! Guess
