The Gatekeeper
great vocals by Ari in a Cher like style, a nice mellow groove with rich fingerstyle support by a very capable guitarist in there as well are some fine string textures offering up ambient quality.

International IMP Artists
am 27 years old and I'm a songwriter. I have always loved to sing but somewhere between the ages of three and seven became petrified of doing so in front of others. I have a memory I wanna share....When my parents were outside gardening or my dad was in his office workin and my mom stepped out to go to the market, I would find the most quiet corner of the house, usually the bathroom for some reason, and sing. And I use to scare myself with the sounds that I'd here that I couldn't do it for very long. The sound of my own voice made me feel so sad and almost immediately made me want to cry. Very strange. Anyways, that and not being one who was drawn to the spot light kept from really doing anything serious with my voice till I met my husband. Actually thats not entirely true...I played the clarinet in my middle schools band but desperately wanted to be in the singing group called the Wave. When I tried out for my teacher Mr.Leff he was so disappointed by the thought of loosing me as a clarinetist that he strongly discouraged me from leaving the band. I had gathered up all the strength I had to get through that little audition, so when he basically turned me down I became incredibly embaressed and angry and quit the band. Wow, that made him mad. He told me I was a diamond in the rough as I huffed outta his office.
