FreeBob wrote: Biography by Heather Phares New age composer/multi-instrumentalist Chris Spheeris began writing songs on his guitar as a teenager. Inspired by the sacred and folk music of his Greek heritage and other world music, classical music, and pop, Spheeris fused these elements together into his own unique musical style. The folk aspects of his music were prominent early in his career as part of a duo with guitarist/composer Paul Voudouris in the '70s and early '80s. After they disbanded, Spheeris began to create a more complex, keyboard-based sound, which he documented on self-produced demo tapes. One of these demos found its way to the A&R department at Columbia Records, with whom Spheeris signed a deal in 1985. The label released his debut album, Desires of the Heart, and Pathways to Surrender before he left in the early '90s to form his own label, Essence, which released most of his solo output and two reunions with Voudouris: Enchantment and Nothing but the Truth. Along with his solo albums, Spheeris has also composed scores for cable and public television documentaries. He released his Higher Octave Records debut, Dancing With the Muse, in early 2000.

Thank You for the info!

A really nice cut from these two hometown (Sedona) guys. Chris' music has matured well over the years, and he is a top notch person as well.

Ther've been some complaints regarding the rating scheme. I think we should add a rating called "smooth as a baby's bottom"
One of my all time favorites from times past.

Maybe it's just the mood I'm in, but the endless syncopation really gets to me. I'm relieved that it's over now....

This would be great to hear live. Or great to have in the background while entertaining guests. But for straight up listening, it's not doing much for me.

This is one of the many things that I enjoy about RP- that every so often a flamenco or classical guitar piece comes up, and it brings back fond memories of listening to a very skilled friend play in a little coffeehouse years ago. For me, RP has become an musical echo to my life.
