Far, far away from the American soil, I watched the conversation, and then listened to "The Way Through". Music without words can tell stories, too! In Gary's piano I can hear the wisdom of being not in a hurry, the skill of finding joy in small things, affirmation in the age when music so often expresses defiance.
So nice to listen to this very gentle, enlightening conversation with you, Carrie and Gary. Makes me homesick for another live concert. Be well and travel well - hopefully back to Minnesota sometime!
As I continue to experience the wonders of life you share with us all, Gary Walters is another gift 💝. I will listen to this later. I so look forward to listening when I go sit on the rocky coast of Maine. We are fortunate to be on a magical spot. ❤️🙏❤️
We're so blessed that your musical paths crossed and brought just a beautiful, multifaceted relationship. I enjoy each and every time I get to hear you two perform. "Air" remains one of my favorite piano pieces of all time; and though I love Carrie's studio albums, nothing beats hearing the two of you together out on the road. Safe travels and happy playing!
I just attended a conference with a dear friend...we drove to Louisville from West Lafayette sharing stories and laughter and singing with the two of you. One of the strongest messages at the conference was, “love first, love always, and the rest will find its way” clearly that is the story of your lives and musical journey! I appreciate so much the richness your relationship adds to my life!!! So excited for Bloomington!!!!
Thank you for sharing Gary with us! His verbal insights are so similar to those in his music; he is a servant to the conversation, always yielding to meaning, forcing nothing … what an inspiration, what a gift. Love to you both.
What a wonderful conversation!! Enjoyed hearing about Gary and his early life, how the two of you met and what the collaboration entails to create such wonderful music. I loved meeting you both back in May in Michigan too. My husband is amazed at Gary’s piano playing. I look forward to seeing you both again next month in Bloomington!! Big road trip planned but I wouldn’t miss it for the world!! Love your music Gary and Carrie!!
I really appreciate this glimpse into the collaboration between the two of you, and hearing a little about Gary’s early life. And while I don’t believe it’s ever “too late” to discover interests, I always love hearing stories about how a person encounters something as a child, and immediately they know, they just know that it sparks something in their heart. Thank you for sharing.
Gary Walters is not only a highly gifted and accomplished artist. He is one of the best people on the planet! I count it high among my blessings that I've had the exceeding good fortune to work with Gary and you, Carrie—it was wonderful to hear the two of you in conversation. Makes me want to stage one of our shows again!
Me too....what beautiful experiences creating the two song and spoken word shows! And yup...Gary was such an amazing part of these programs. Im so grateful that i've gotten to create with you both!
I really enjoyed this interview. It was great to get Gary's insights into the creative process. Both you and Gary are such versatile artists.
Forever grateful to Carrie for our years together... and a special thanks for inviting me in to "A Gathering of Spirits".
awwwww gary, that means the world to me.
