“Aeon for Ocean” interviews Birdsong!

Dear Friends,
It was so much fun to be interviewed by my friend Aeon Bashir, founder of “Aeon for Ocean”. Aeon had some great questions for me, including “What inspired you to start Birdsong and Eco-Wonders?”, “What is the process of creating your fun songs — from songwriting to performing?”, “What’s your favorite song?”, and “Do you have a special message for the community?” It was wonderful to spend time with Aeon, to talk about my songwriting and mission, and to share our love for the ocean.

Dear Friends,

It’s whale migration time in the Northern Hemisphere!
Each year, the world’s giant whales migrate thousands of miles from their summer feeding grounds to their winter breeding grounds in warmer waters.
