Mardiningsi Arquette, Poet . 1939-1997
This album is dedicated to my long time friend and sister Mardi Arquette, a brilliant poet and student of mythology and human psychology. She fought cancer bravely and tenaciously and finally succumbed in 1997. During her confinement I was honored to be asked to come, sit by her bed and sing for her. At the time I had lost the desire to make music, feeling that I had nothing more to offer. As the days passed I seemed to regain the old spirit and with it my dedication to the Song. Her poem, "Flowers In the Dark", which I set to music, is one of my particular favorites on the CD.
One day as, I walked into her room, she looked up, smiled
and said, "My bard." I felt as if I had been
crowned. She was the inspiration for this CD. My
brothers, Paul Edwards, who engineered, produced and
arranged the album and Gregor Hesse, who financed and
works tirelessly to promote it, were the means to bring
it to fruition. I hope those who listen to it find
something in it that touches them.
