Frogtoon Music Album Info: Dancing With The Lion

"The First Of My Three Children Was Born - A Key Experience For A Dreamer Like Myself! I Had The Feeling Of Gently Becoming Grounded Which Spawned The Theme Of This Album 'Dancing With The Lion.' The Lion Stands For Concrete Rational And Physical Reality. In That Sense It Is Vital To Dance With The Lion Without Stepping On Its Feet Because You Would Surely Be Mauled. At The Same Time You Shouldn't Let The Lion Step On Your Feet Either Because That Would Definitely Hurt Too. For The First Time I Opened Up Our Project For Numerous Guests From Different Musical Worlds An Enriching Experience That Resulted In Many New Personal And Musical Perspectives."
