"The beauty shines through. Do yourself a favor: put on your headphones or get close to your speakers, close your eyes. Hold someone's hand. Take this journey. By the time you get to track six, "Streamin'," you will already be transported. And then, it is time for Professor Lake to begin spinning his magic. You don't need to look to the future, you are there. We are here, now. We are in this together. Music reminds us of our gifts, our responsibilities, and the spirit of life. And beauty shines brightly.”
