Pray, Tellis an antique phrase, basically meaning, do tell! The word pray embodies a kind of humble entreaty, encouraging communication. In that respect, I put the metaphorical bucket down in the metaphorical Well, pulled it up, and these pieces most of them new - were in there. What began as a 12-song cd turned into a double cd of 24 songs. It s my hope that these songs will offer a space where the sacred can appear, where we may all be of One Mind, One Heart. I believe there is a deep mutual kinship, a consonance living in all the various forms of spirituality. This is what I pray. This is what I tell. - CrisAcoustic guitar, ukulele, strumstick, piano, electric keyboards, lead and background vocals by Cris WilliamsonWith very special thanks to these brilliant players and singers who gave so much to the Soul of this music:Ben Smith drums, percussionGarey Shelton bass, drumtrackJen Todd background vocal, acoustic guitarJohn Morton papoose acoustic guitar, electric guitarJulie Wolf pianoMel Watson background vocal Nancy Rumbel ocarina, oboe, English horn, melodicaNova Karina Devonie accordionTania Elizabeth violinVicki Randle percussion, background vocalThe Larks: Western and Eastern meadowlarks, horned larkAll songs by Cris Williamson©2013 Cris Williamson/Bird Ankles Music (BMI)Morning Glory words Cris Williamson, music J.S.
