 Since
Victoria was in high school, people would say that they loved
to listen to her play. As complimentary as that was, she just
didn’t understand why. However, those comments continued
throughout her life and nineteen years ago her THEN and NOW producer
and sound engineer, Gerry Putnam from Cedarhouse Sound and Mastering
in North Sutton, NH encouraged her to record a CD of piano instrumentals.
Her husband and son, her AKSARA sisters as well as other close
friends did the same and even though it took nineteen years, the
long-awaited BLUE INDIGO was worth the wait.
Vic named the CD, “Blue Indigo” after a special and
beautiful flower that grows in her garden each year. This flower,
blue indigo, (Baptisia australis) grew in her backyard when she
was a child and each June she would wait patiently for the deep,
mystical blue petals to appear. For what seemed forever, she would
wait for those flowers…they would come…and within
about 11-12 days…they were gone….but the next year,
there they would be. Thus, the inspiration for her long-awaited
CD was from a flower that she loved as a child – complete
with its depth and mystical blue beauty.
Please take a few moments to listen to some of the clips from
“Blue Indigo”. The following excerpt from the CD jacket,
sums up what Vic has written about the CD.
“Blue Indigo has been nineteen years in the making in one
form or another. It was created in Love, for Love. Each piece
came through me from some “ancient whisper” for some
“future day.” Like the flower that mysteriously made
its gentle way into my heart as a child, may “Blue Indigo”
make its gentle presence known to you, song by song……Go
gently, Victoria”.
