What Is Normally Called Religion

I Had A Lot Of Time To Myself, And I Would Listen To A Lot Of Music, Mostly Music That I Knew Fairly Well And Had A Relationship With. And I'd Think, Well, What Is It That I've Never Been Able To Do That This Person Or People Are Able To Do With This Song? Why Haven't I Been Able To Do It, And What Can They Do That I Wish I Could Do? And Then I'd Try To Do That. I'd Start Each Day Getting Into The Songs, And I'd Think About How I Might Get Closer To This Music That I Love, But Haven't Been Able To Make Before.

I Was Really Looking Forward To Doing The Thing That I Do - I Basically Appear Just At The Beginning And At The End Of The 'the Glory Of The World' Play - But When I Got To Opening Night, I Started To Get Really Sad That That Was The Last Time I Was Going To See The Play As A Spectator Without Actually Being In It.

Sometimes We Need To Tell Ourselves That We're Not Going To Do Certain Things, Just In Order To Stay Sane.

I Felt So Liberated When I First Saw Charles Mee’s 'the Glory Of The World' At Bam Play, Because For Me This Is The Gateway To Contemplation, Or This Is The Gateway To Love, Or This Is The Gateway To Faith, Not Sitting And Reading A Book By An Isolated Monk, God Bless Him. This Is.

I Valued The Experience Of Making The Recordings, And I Value The Performances Contained Therein, And I Value So Much Of What They Can Represent. I Also Think They're A Terrific Listening Experience. Putting Them Out This Way Was A Way Of Trying To Maintain And Nurture The Relationship With The Audience And Also Shine A Light On The Recent Past, Because We Are So Apt To Be Forgetful As Human Beings That There Was Such A Thing As A Recent Past. These Are Some Of The Reasons For Making This Record.
