Here are Jenn's notes about the song Canyon Breeze. It's also this quarter's free download. I remember hearing Jenn playing the main melody a few years ago. We were waiting backstage in Sutter Creek, CA. I said what's that? ..thinking that it must have been a melody from a classsical piece or something. It was so beautiful! I added the first chords to it there. It has always stayed a very simple and meditative piece (only two chords...). It's one of my favorites.

Jenn's description:

Jon and I had a trip planned to the Grand Canyon w/ his parents. It was their first time and our second time visiting the canyon and so, we wanted it to be very special for them. We planned the trip the same time of year that Jon and I had gone the year before (the 1st week of May), and we expected to have beautiful sunny weather. Well, it snowed!
Now, snow is not such a bad thing (in fact, it can be quite lovely) but what happened this time was that mist from the snow came in and filled up the whole Grand Canyon! You could stand on the edge and peer out and not even see that there was the Grand Canyon there at all. We were disappointed to say the least, but determined to have the Grand Canyon experience.
So, of course, we went to the IMAX movie- ha! The IMAX doesn't hold a candle to the actual canyon, but it did touch on some interesting things that got us thinking. The movie went through the history of the people of the canyon w/ the ancient cultures that had lived there, then explorers, and up to us as visitors and tourists. From this we started thinking about all these people, through all these different times coming to the canyon and standing in the same spot peering into the canyon. By having this shared experience, we are all connected by this place through time. Who knows how many people have come to the canyon before us and who knows how many more after us? In a romantic sense, visiting the Grand Canyon is like visiting a little piece of eternity right here on earth.

The melody for Canyon Breeze had been floating around in my head after our first trip to the canyon, and after that second snowy visit, we were inspired to make this song. It reminds me of the ebb & flow of the wind and water that carved out the canyon and of the people that have passed through it.
We always start w/ the original melody, but then let the spirit move us and we play it differently every time.
