Composer felt the presence of RLS, she wandering as he had; this is a story unto itself. This work evolved over decades of receiving; it all began when reading to her little boy the ‘Verses’ the tunes were born.The music, it has been noted, is true to the Stevensonian essence; each song charming, inspiration knowing not the boundries of time. Poems included on album are written within cd with more historical information presented.
RLeonard is a formally trained musician who has been recording over the years to bring comfort and healing to the core of the soul through sound. As well she is a teacher, rabbi and extraordinarily successful home-school parent.
