5.0 out of 5 stars Do not deprive yourself of this experience, August 31, 2000

This review is from: Celestial Navigations, Chapter 1 (Audio CD)

This is an experience of storytelling beyond any I have heard...and I have heard in excess of a hundred storytellers. The versatility of the artist is uncanny with the different kinds of story lines and character portrayals. And for anyone with a metaphysical, spiritual, or mystical orientation, there is plenty of material along those lines as well. Mr Lewis takes the listener from the common everyday experience of a vietnam vet to the passion and heat of the chance meeting of lovers, to the heartwarming friendship of two strangers on a train, and on to the mystical realms. He is absolutely amazing. He touches a place inside me that I have longed to find in the storytelling experience. To have the variety of musical accompaniments as background for the stories is an ingenious idea and only serves to further enhance the depth and breadth of the listener's experience. I hail this group for the enrichment they have brought into my life. DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW I MIGHT CONTACT THESE FOLKS TO ARRANGE THEIR VISIT TO MY CITY? e-mail me at: [e-mail]

5.0 out of 5 stars Storytelling at its Finest, August 19, 2000

This review is from: Celestial Navigations, Chapter 1 (Audio CD)

Whatever circumstance that brought you to this page is a fine example of fate working its magic. Celestial Navigations is, without a doubt, one of the greatest experiences that you will ever have in your life. Buy this CD, lie down, turn off the lights, and be amazed at the places and emotions it will take you to. I have introduced Celestial Navigations to almost every person I know, and 100% have been affected in some way or fashion. I don't know how to adequately describe their mix of storytelling, music, and effects. But I do know that you will be blown away by the compelling stories they weave.

5.0 out of 5 stars Close your eyes and open your imagination for this album., June 21, 2000

Storytelling has been around for a long time. To hear the words flow from the teller and to become a part of the story they tell is a wonderous feeling. That is what happens when you listen to this album. Every story can be woven in to one's life in some way. "The Intersection" reminds me of my past. "The Ocean" tells me that if you can think it, its possible. "The Wall" show that if you focus on your goal, it will be attained. "The Valley" shows us what is important in life. This album is timeless. Stories are like that. I plan to aquire the rest of the albums. If you are reading this, then you found a treasure. In an age of visual special effects, these stories show that nothing compares the the power of one's imagination. Thank you.
