Copperwoman has now completed the second phase of her CD of her Healing Journey Songs. Joining Copperwoman on this recording are Beth Brown, Samantra and Sudhananda. It was recorded, mixed and mastered at Dragonfly Studio in Redway, CA by Sudhananda. This recording features songs written by Copperwoman as she was doing her healing in the "western world" of medicine with chemotherapy and radiation. "I turn my light on, you turn your light on and we shine, shine, shine." Tune in to this CD for some true SURVIVOR inspiration!

There is a longing to feel our connection to one another that prevails among many people today. Something deep in our hearts and souls that urges us to reach out for support and lovea desire to feel part of a greater family. Music can be a way to experience this connection we hunger for. And singing together can feed our souls. The CD, “We Are Ancient We Are Now” was born out of a need and a desire for songs that are easily learned and can be sung when people gather. All but one of the songs on this CD are original CircleSongs written by Copperwoman. The songs she writes often emerge out of the energy and common experience of people as they join together. In our search for ways to feel connected we turn to Ritual Gatherings to celebrate, honor and acknowledge spirit and each other. The songs on Copperwoman’s CD nourish feelings of closeness and unity, and when sung in circles of people assist in the raising of vibration creating a fertile ground for prayer and healing.

At the end of many gatherings where we’ve been doing a lot of singing, people will ask me, “How’d that song go.” This is a recording to answer that question for 13 songs. It was done quickly in a studio to meet an impossible deadline, so it is not highest “performance” quality. But it does have a lot of “character” and will certainly help you to learn several songs. All of Copperwoman’s songs are sing-a-long-songs. I welcome you to sing your heart out while listening to this recordingas well as all of the othersand have fun!

“These songs were there, knocking on the door. I just happened to be around and let them in.” This recording was originally produced in 1980. Carolyn Saso (Copperwoman) was the mother of a preschooler and working with young children at the San Lorenzo Valley Children’s Center in Ben Lomond, California. When interviewing for her job at the children’s center, she stated that she would like to write “new” songs for childrensongs with positive ideas and catchy tunes that would have children singing lyrics that fed positive self esteem and appreciation of nature.
And that’s exactly what happened. It was a prolific time. In the course of 2 years she “brought through” over 50 children’s songs. The first 34 are on “Knocking on the Door” and the next 19 make up “Let’s Sing Together.” (Continued below...)

Preschool and K-3 teachers began to ask her to teach them the songs. And that is how the recordings came about. She managed to get the funds together to make the recordings and teachers were so grateful to have such tools available to learn new children’s songs.
You can get an idea about the songs from their titles and the lyrics.
