A Spiritual Conversation with Singer-Songwriters/Composers

    Dennis DeYoung, Styx Founding Member

    Kari connects Dennis to his father, as they talk about why Dennis has been vocal for a Styx reunion that would be a farewell tour as the line up that produced their biggest hits in the ‘80s especially in light of the 2020 pandemic, how the new song “Last Guitar Hero” featuring Tom Morello about people who still work with their hands is like a follow up to “Mr. Roboto,” his thoughts on “Mr. Roboto” in 2021 and it being literal and metaphorical as Kari tells him how prescient it was with people now like robots, being on a campaign to bring back fist fights rather than hide behind a computer or device, his thoughts on “Come Sail Away,” what “Best of Times” was about and his thoughts on love, humility, hubris and empathy.

    The Tenors' Fraser Walters

    Kari reconnects with Fraser, as she connects him with his mountain climbing Irish grandmother, and they talk about how breakdowns can be breakthroughs, how discomfort can be growth and if we're scared of making mistakes we may not realize our full potential of where we're truly meant to be, past lives and Renaissance music in our souls' DNA, catalysts and wilderness moments that push us to the next better chapter,  how he's still learning from lessons leaving San Francisco-based Chanticleer years ago, criticizing someone is often like a mirror, the importance of diaphragm breathing as the bedrock, his rule of cold showers as a reminder of First World abundance but with health benefits, the life changing experience of Africa and getting more back when one is of service and giving, the importance of truthfulness, being true to oneself and how our word is all we have, how consciously choosing not to be on social media gives him the space to reconnect with himself daily and focus on why he's here, and journaling three pages each morning as catharsis.

    Drummer Mark Brzezicki of Big Country

    Kari connects Mark to his cat Misha, as Mark talks about how there were no bagpipes on their '80s hit "In a Big Country," visualizing his own reality and how he felt when his vision came true to play at the Hammersmith Odeon, a milestone along his life path, as well as his determination to be on "Top of the Pops" when people joked he wouldn't, as a glass half full person he believes that having ups and downs is part of the journey, how he knew to follow his gift of being a drummer and what drives him in his love of contributing to songs, that quantum physics is so close to spirituality, and feeling grateful at being able to fully live out his raison d'etre.

    Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson

    Kari connects Ian to his cat Samir, as he talks about balancing on one leg while playing the flute, how he knew to follow his musical gifts and stay on that life path, how he doesn't dwell on being down or depressed for more than a few minutes and being an optimistic person, going for brief walks in the garden during the day as a reunion with nature, being a loner and not needing to be in the company of people, Ian's new video that addresses homeless for "Aqualung," which celebrates its 50th anniversary, how he wrote "Aqualung," homeless and the climate crisis, the importance of being socially responsible whether it's family planning in our overpopulated planet or thinking of our fellow human beings by wearing a mask or getting a vaccine as the human species becomes increasingly threatened, and a life lesson in Rudyard Kipling's "The Cat That Walked By Himself" in "Just So Stories."

    Albert Bouchard, Blue Oyster Cult Founding Member

    Kari connects Albert with his good friend Sandy Pearlman, whose brainchild was the album "Imaginos," which was meant to be Albert's new solo album years ago. He finally did his version as his latest album "Re Imaginos," as they talk about when he now thinks of Sandy, following his gift of being a drummer, how he dealt with being fired from Blue Oyster Cult and how being a New York City public school teacher for 31 years was the great teacher, his process of when music comes to him, what he does when he feels blue and his favorite go-to dish to cook in the kitchen.

    Rocker/Bassist Suzi Quatro and Singer-Songwriter Shirlie Roden (The Kinks)

    Kari connects Suzi to her mother, as she talks to Suzi, an icon who helped open the door for female rockers by honoring her raison d'etre, and who played Leather Tuscadero  on "Happy Days," and Shirlie, who toured with the Kinks, about their spiritual experiences, including the one Suzi had after her mom passed when in the Kinks' studio, her mom's comment to Suzi whose channel has opened wider beyond music as she gives spiritual messages to fellow passengers on airplanes, how channeling music is just like taking dictation from one's Higher Self, how 2020 was a mirror and made people have to sit in their own silence especially at a time where the world's noise is all around us, Suzi's  past life experience but how this is her last go around, Shirlie's past life visions when she was at the acupuncturist, Shirlie and Dave Davies' spiritual experience on stage with Ray when on tour with the Kinks during "You Really Got Me," when Roy Orbison sent her a song/message to his wife, as well as the dark night of the soul that made her go from writing a musical about Joan of Arc to the healing music she writes now to help raise people's vibrations, as they talk about following one's life path they're meant to be on.

    Ricky Warwick of Thin Lizzy and Black Star Riders

    Kari connects Ricky to his father, as they talk about Ricky's new album "When Life Was Hard and Fast," with guests like Andy Taylor, Joe Elliott and Dizzy Reed, and the importance of a good producing partner like Keith Nelson of Buckcherry, how "Darkness on the Edge of Town" inspired a song on the album, of following his path of music, how someone knows they're on the path they're meant to be on, his fall on the knees moment in life, whether  he hears original music, what he does when he feels down, moving to a whole new life and chapter that is America, and how he tunes out the world's noise.

    Guitarist/Singer-Songwriter Damon Johnson

    Kari connects Damon to his beloved grandmother, while they talk about following one's gifts and honoring one's raison d'etre, which for Damon is focusing on his solo career now in this chapter with Damon Johnson and The Get Ready, after a life path that included being part of two legendary acts - Thin Lizzy and Alice Cooper's band, how Alice encouraged him to follow his gift when Thin Lizzy called, as well as being in his band after having his albums as a teen, and then being in Thin Lizzy, another favorite band as a teen, Eddie Van Halen's influence and not just in a musical way, adding cello to his music, thoughts about time, channeling music, being alone with one's thoughts, and being comfortable in one's own skin when we're true to ourselves.
