It appears that we've started a brand new year, HOORAY! Do some of the struggles and stresses of the last year, come into the landscape now before us? How could we just accept the same old - same old, instead of a fresh new beginning? A better tomorrow can be ours. It's our desire to have hope. To face past struggles and new challenges. And prevail. I want this new journey to be a source of inspiration, to you, as you accomplish the goal of putting the past far behind us. Let's keep looking ahead. - Diego

  I can remember a song by the artist Sheryl Crow titled "Every Day Is A Winding Road", and if you consider the meaning of that message, you can catch the vision it brings about our lives, and the future. It doesn't have to hold fear or anxiety for us. But we're sure to have to let some things go.  Things that we've been accustomed to having. But now, the scene changes. For better, or for worse, we'll move down that winding road, hopefully together. And here's a soundtrack to take, for the journey. - Diego

 This Journey will expand your horizons, and challenge you to be brave when you're in an unfamiliar place. You'll never know whether all your expectations are fulfilled, for the better, or not, until you forge ahead. And expect the best. You have, at least, some chance of getting it. If not, you're no worse off. 

Something to help you relax, if you need to. It's still got some energy, but mostly it will give us a breather from life's constant grind. Have break. - Diego

     This Journey has some serious wattage, in the event that you're in a dark place (or mood). And so, be my guest, to shine it within your heart and soul. May it spread to your world. -Diego

      Friends,  I'm sure you will enjoy this Journey. It's sweet, warm, and has very few calories. So feel free to have seconds! -Diego

If you are here to enjoy listening to the finest sounds ever mixed, then that is just what we have in store for you. Don't fear that there are annoying ads, survey questions, or spam mailings associated with these episodes. NEVER. The Ebony River Journey isn't a product marketing enterprise, instead it produces joy. And the  dividends, are listeners, feeling better about the day. All we ask for is that you return, whenever you need a beautiful soundtrack for whatever you are doing, or wherever you are going.  I'll keep filling your cup. Bottoms up! -Diego

To everyone that is observing, seems as though there's an endless stream of bad news out there on the horizon. And it's not likely to change in the near future. I'm not ignoring everything, the multitude of ills and tragedies, at hand. I simply reserve a "safe zone" inside my soul. There's where nothing can disturb your inner peace. Where it's mellow with a capital "OHH!" A buffer, bringing a smile, even with the tears. That should keep the world, and everyone else, guessing. -Diego

    In a short while, most of us will be thrust into a frenzy of world news, political campaigns, sporting events, and, don't forget, vacation plans! Yippee!? Really?? Which of us actually believes that we can somehow keep pace with such an avalanche of issues AND it have no harmful effect? Not leave us drained or despairing? Well, it might be possible if we could find a calm spot, an oasis, along the way to refresh our inner soul. Before the wave hits. This is that spot.

You're welcome.   -Diego

This Journey opens up with some of the liveliest melodies ever heard. And that should be enough reason for us to "just go for it", you know. Move around some, and check for a pulse. Or sit, and store up some of that energy for a future endeavor. Not meaning to be the one to give out my advice, per se. It's a soundtrack I'm providing, to hopefully mix our moods for the better. To be played, and  shared. I'm taking my own advice, now. -Diego
