Member Since: 11/3/2006
Band Website: seastarproductions.com
Band Members: Elizabeth Anne Middleton, pianist.Myspace Backgrounds

Influences: The exchange of musical ideas given by our communications technology; the music of other times, places and cultures, the music that filled my childhood, classical, religious, hymns, the sounds of coyotes and owls, wind and rain, water running in the creek, and years of studying and performing classical music. And, my love and my sorrow for our planet, for all earthlings, creatures of the air, sea and land. I listen to the water, the wind, the trees and the animals, and try to give expression to what they feel and say.
