Mark Appleford The Bard of Asheville

-
Hello Everybody, I am proud and happy to present "Mark Appleford" as one of the guest's we will have on the "IC." Let me tell you a little about Mark, he is a wonderful Singer Songwriter whom I had the privilege of working with in a band called "Yer Dawg" in 2005, this was a short lived experience but gratifying none the less.

Mark's sound is an effusion, bridging him with the likes of  Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones, Wilco, and The Replacements. He is a Singer/ Songwriter/ Guitarist/and Harmonica player; born in the town that helped put "American music" on the map "Detroit." Mark's songs can sometimes remind you of the opening to one of your favorite "Coen Brother's movie" then other times you get whisked away to a club in New Orleans with a band playing sweet sounds as you dance the night away to this "tasty yet raspy" voice crooning everything from down home blues to originals. Mark is not just a fun and game's man, Appleford has the ability to bring a ribald nature to his music; however, he can also make you swoon with remembrance of things that you had long forgotten, or thing's that bridge you with the unknown inside of you.

 He has called Asheville, North Carolina his home since 2004. In the summer of 2010 Mark Appleford started a two night a week residency at "Athena's" ( 14 college Street, in the heart of downtown Asheville)  he play's every Friday and Saturday night from 7:30pm to 10pm.

 I have no doubt that you will enjoy Mark's live shows or listening to his music at home. To catch a listen to the man we will be interviewing just go to www.reverbnation.com/markappleford.

A list of Appleford's accomplishments include: Adlin& Appleford's " All over the place" 2006
                                                                     Locomotive Pie CD " Hiding in Plain Sight" 2008
                                                                     2nd Solo CD " Longtime Between Drink's" 2010
                                                                     3rd Solo CD "Rambledown" released 7/29/2011

This is Aleatra from the "IC" saying " Onward and Upward all the best to yah!"

Thought on Working From Home ( the serious editions)

-
    The shift to remote work has indeed brought many changes to workplace dynamics, some of which have been challenging. The lack of face-to-face interaction can make it difficult for employees to express their true feelings and concerns, leading to a culture where speaking up is discouraged. This can be exacerbated in environments where there is a lack of structured social interaction and open communication about job expectations and duration.  Moreover, the absence of in-person support can leave employees feeling isolated, especially when they are not provided with adequate guidance or training. This can create an environment where only a select few receive the attention and opportunities for advancement, often leading to feelings of favoritism and inequality.  On the other hand, remote work can offer flexibility and comfort that many appreciate. However, for a truly healthy work environment, companies might benefit from incorporating more experienced professionals who bring a wealth

Knowing where the spiritual leaders lives have been embellished

-
Current Climate, spiritual teachers and leaders creating apps and other platforms to monitor peoples ideas all to gain perspective on how to actively manipulate others, because some of these charlatans are literally vampires who have no real emotional ties to humanity. Their only GOD is money and how to make it, even if they have to use your life story to make themselves more interesting, human and relatable! I just read an article about someone that I knew and trusted and right in front of me, my whole life story, my ups, downs, triumphs and adversities carefully crafted and worded as to make it seem emotionally original! The only problem is, I know and it has left a bad taste in my mouth for all people who claim to have the best interest of humanity at heart and seem super relatable, maybe they're doing the same thing...now I have trust issues about all things spiritual, and self healing. I mean what type of trash DNA would it take for a person to cultivate a whole program off

Sound Healing and Religion

-
    Sound healing, with its harmonious and resonant frequencies, has indeed found a place in modern wellness practices, offering a unique avenue for enhancing spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. This practice, while not inherently religious, aligns with the intrinsic human appreciation for music and its profound impact on the soul. The Biblical Psalms, rich in poetic musicality, have long celebrated the power of sound and song to uplift the spirit and foster a sense of divine connection. They speak to the heart of sound healing's ethos – the belief that auditory experiences can harmonize and heal. The Psalms, particularly Psalm 100 and Psalm 98, underscore the significance of making a 'joyful noise' and embracing song as a form of worship and celebration of life's creation. This ancient wisdom echoes through time, resonating with the idea that sound, in its purest form, is a gift from the Creator, intended to be used for the expression of joy, gratitude, and
