about

Late one summer evening, walking on the grounds at the Seeds of Peace camp in Maine, I overheard beautiful sounds coming from one of the meeting halls. I had to go to the source. Entering the building, I sat down to listen to Ami Yares and his friend Ghassan Birumi jamming, as they practiced for an upcoming concert. It was a magical experience. I felt like I had wandered into the early years of Simon and Garfunkel creating their amazing music. I didn't want the the session to end. As you listen to "Simple Gifts" you too can experience this magic. An inspiration!

lyrics

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.

When true simplicity is gain'd,
To bow and to bend we shan't be asham'd,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come 'round right
