Diamondfire is the work of a lifetime, celebrating Venice Beach, California, where I lived and
played lead guitar with singer/songwriter Tim Buckley during the ‘60s and early ‘70s.

It also celebrates Hollywood’s neon jungle when I entered my music journalism years (West
Coast Editor of Down Beat magazine 1975-1981). Later on, during the summers, my wife and I
drove to the southern Colorado mountains where we camped, fly fished, and hiked the trails.
Eventually, we moved to New Mexico in the mountains 14 miles outside of Santa Fe. Finally, we
took up residence not far from the magnificent Yosemite National Park in central California.
Nature plays a major role in Diamondfire.
In relationships, we discover desire, pleasure, and personal love — the many shades of passion,
the colors of sensuality, the hues of affection, the dark nights of rejection, the bright light of love
that's deep and true and lasting. A love poem —

If and when we ascend into transpersonal domains of the psyche and the soul, we soar beyond
egocentricity into the radiant realm of love and compassion for ourselves, our friends and
compatriots, for all human beings throughout the world, and for all living plants and
animals.http://lu.zee-whiteddesignery.com/LU-Remote/40%29_From_Empty_No-Mind_AllOne.html
Music of all kinds, Tim Buckley; urban life with its neon lights and streetsong madness;
mountains, trees, lakes, streams; and that bright light of awakened consciousness — they are all
in Diamondfire. Take a look —
