An album of 18 original songs and poems written, performed and
produced by eco-musician and poet Jon Sherman.
Through harmonies and images that enchant the heart and lilting rhythms
that invoke the spirit, these original compositions take the
listener on a healing journey of integration with the natural
world. Inspired by the endangered Palos
Verdes Blue Butterfly
of
Southern California, this album is dedicated to all creatures,
in
this age of extinction,
and their struggle for continued existence. The beautiful painting on the cover, depicting the endangered
Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly
and one of its two food
plants, Deerweed,
is a gracious contribution to this project by renowned
watercolorist Fealing
Lin.

Inspired by the endangered Palos
Verdes Blue Butterfly, this album is a
colorful tapestry of poetry, flute playing and singing, all woven
together with light ethnic rhythms - the pure sounds of
nature.
Just like the fluttering of a butterfly, the melodies are beautifully
gentle and flow with inspiring words that pour with the emotion of a
gushing waterfall. Jon Sherman wears a badge for nature with
this
CD - bringing forth all those wonderful little things about nature that
we often pass by without a glance, reminding us that Mother Nature
comes in all shapes and sizes, all colors, and holds incredible
powers.

"Butterfly Blue" is a reflection of the delicate balance
all creatures share with nature. Jim

Jon's clear tenor voice beautifully fits the natural setting, soaring
above the cascading rhythms of his keyboards. It's music that
adds, rather that detracts, from the wonder of the surroundings. Glenn
