My life partner, Phil Leber, has collaborated with me and composed/written and sung seven original songs which come right out of the book, Emerging Voices.   Thus the name of the CD - Emerging Voices.

The CD is now available on several sites, includingClick here .  Several of the songs are available to listen to on my website:  wwwEssenceofLaurel.com or on Phil's website:  http://www.gulfblues.com/

My words have a purpose - they are meant to tell a story, to heal and to offer hope.  Phil's voice has a purpose - to soothe your soul.
