In the Ancient Hindu faith singing is the first art, playing is the second, dancing is third. Together they make up "music." Music helps us realize and understand our expectations and control our emotions. The musical manifestations on this album capture the emotions of our memories. These are honest songs that blend the influences of eastern and western thought and music. They come as musical blessings offered from the heart.... The Sufi's believe that music has power, beauty and wisdom and that our experiences in the physical/psychological/spiritual world are expressed through the qualities of voice. If that is true then, "this ain't no lyin', cryin' and dyin'" album. Looking through the titles there is a sense of positive, uplifting messages that are musically manifested in these songs. Bahapki features the incredible guitar mastery of Brian Asher, Campbell Church, and the incomparable Larry Peterson.
