This amazing take of GOING TO CALIFORNIA was taken 2 years ago. Although I am haunted by my trip to Iceland (those who know me know) I will always cherish this take of this great song in a sound sculpture. The first line says it all....
Enjoy, follow and share if you'd like.
WAIT TILL THE END!

A new song written last week in the Kalalau Valley on Kauai north shore. She usually gives me songs...this one she inspired. To all who believe in silver linings out of hard times. This one's for you!
Big Love and Aloha.

THE OTHER ONE:
Watch and hear Pete Kartsounes take on the "Jerry" role on Monday to celebrate the legendary life of Bob Weir. Pete was asked to perform with the local Dead cover band CALL DOWN THUNDER. This take is crackling with energy and Bend showed up to bring love into the room!

HERE IT IS!!
Please have a listen and leave a "like" and comment so this gets some traction. I'd really appreciate the gesture.
Have a look and listen to the official debut of LOVE IS EVERYWHERE by DJPK (The Groove Looper). I've swam in many musical oceans in my lifetime, but never one like this. This is all about the love! A neo-soul song for your big and beautiful hearts. The world needs more love!
Love Is Everywhere comes out tonight on all global streaming sites at 9 pm PST. I spent all day making this video at home and had a lot of fun doing so. I hope you enjoy it all.
Thanks for YOUR love!
Love Is Everywhere was written, performed, produced and engineered by Pete Kartsounes. (Aka DJPK - THE GROOVE LOOPER)

A new song!!
Let me know how you may connect with this one. It's all about being set free. A song about getting through hard times with the one medicine that always seems to work best....time.

NEW SONG ALERT
The Way It Goes Sometimes
Please have a listen, like, and comment so this can get some traction. I would greatly appreciate the gesture!
Life has led me to this song. One that I'm sure most of us can relate to and connect with. Its raw, true, poignant and profound. Its real! It's also a a teacher to remind us all that when we have heartache it helps to understand that its "The Way It Goes Sometimes." It's never easy, but it's possible to get "through" it all....eventually. Accept, learn, grow, and move on, but please do yourselves a favor and move "through" it and not around. One day you may just look back and see that it was all a big and beautiful blessing.
Hope you enjoy the song and please leave a comment if you would be so kind.
I love you all so darn much!
