As The Crow Flys
As The Crow Flys are Sue Nordman and John Hicks, a bluesy folk/rock duo from southeastern Michigan. Singer Sue Nordman croons stories of sad existentialism in a smoky warble, while guitarist John Hicks provides musical backdrops for these soul-searching journeys that range from hypnotizing to soothing to downright depressive. The two met at a local blues jam several years ago and have been performing together regularly ever since. They have gained notoriety for their electrifying performances, natural stage presence, and wide range of material. Sue and John present a balance of original tunes and covers, and are sure to delight fans of Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, The Cowboy Junkies and Janis Joplin.

New Music CDs at Crazy Wisdom
 Ocean cd
by Mirabai Ceiba
Although not brand new, this cd has become one of my favorites. Ocean's songs and chants carry you on a gentle tide of harp, acoustic guitar, cello, bansuri flute, tablas, and the delicate interweaving of Gurmukhi mantra with English and Spanish lyrics. Produced by Spirit Voyage Music, Mirabai Ceiba is influenced by the Kundalini Yoga community of Yogi Bhajan, and are also the musicians and singers of the lovely cd Flores. $17.99

 Here I Am: Using Jewish Spiritual Wisdom to Become More Present, Centered, and Available for Life (Paperback)
By Leonard Felder
List Price: $15.95
Our Price: $11.17 (Save: $4.79 30%)
During stressful times, it's easy to get caught up in feeling anxious, tense, foggy, and overloaded. Here, a popular psychologist shares easy-to-use techniques for managing and rebalancing these emotions and helps you to find your calm, strong center. Dr. Leonard Felder draws from his work with clients over the last thirty years, and incorporates traditional Jewish prayers and blessings that have been used for centuries to refocus the mind. The author has a long history of multi-faith counseling and dialogue and has made these stress-management practices resonant with people of all religious backgrounds who are looking for more awareness, clarity, and calmness when faced with stress-related emotions.
In this book you'll learn how to:
* Regain your equilibrium when you feel pulled
in too many directions
* Outsmart your moody, anxious brain
* Know when to intervene and when to let go in a situation
* Respond with wisdom when someone treats you harshly
* Find inner quiet and peace when you feel agitated
* And much more
In each chapter, Felder includes examples drawn from his client's experiences and explanations from mind-body psychology and neuroscience to support the effectiveness of this kind of mindfulness practice.

Fans of the New York Times bestselling Geek Dad and The Geek Dad's Guide to Weekend Fun will flock to the 3.0 version, The Geek Dad Book for Aspiring Mad Scientists.

This book will help scientists-in-the- making discover how our world works with creative project ideas, including how to:
* Grow crystals to power your Stargate and set your room aglow
* Extract your own DNA and decode your genes
* Build a MacGyver radio from nothing but cast-off electrical and office supplies
Chock-full of instructional illustrations throughout, The Geek Dad Book for Aspiring Mad Scientists puts the fun back in science.
 Faery Tale: One Woman's Search for Enchantment in a Modern World (Paperback)
By Signe Pike
List Price: $15.00
Our Price: $10.50 (Save: $4.50 30%)
One of Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2010
A skeptic's search for magic, one faery at a time.
In search of something to believe in again, Signe Pike left behind a career in Manhattan to undertake a magical journey-literally. In a sweeping tour through England, Ireland, Scotland, and beyond, she takes readers to dark glens and abandoned forests, ancient sacred sites, and local pubs, seeking those who might still believe in the mysterious beings we've relegated to the dusty corners of our childhood imaginations: faeries. But as Signe attempts to connect with the spirit world, she'll come to view herself and the world around her in a profoundly new way.
Engaging and full of heart, Faery Tale is more than a memoir-it's the story of rekindling that spark of belief that makes even the most skeptical among us feel like a kid again.
