This is a story of a magical time and place that was very real. Magic is the power to transform. See for yourself how a couple of young men transformed an ordinary ferry ride into Ferryboat Music. Their music touched and changed the lives of thousands who saw them every weekend on the sparkling waters of Puget Sound. This is a story of transforming fear into love, mundane into miraculous, and isolation into connection. Feel the heart and the humor in every story in these pages.
Al Levy is a Renaissance Man—outdoorsman, musician, writer, dancer, martial artist, traveler, and spirit healer. Those are only a few of the hats he wears. He loves hats—much to the annoyance of his wife who'd prefer that he didn't hide his wavy hair. He also loves to barbecue. He loves making hamburger out of sacred cows. He is a man of principle. Two of his guiding principles are: “the more you do, the more you can do,” and “anything worth doing is worth overdoing.” A therapist in private practice, he has earned a reputation for being willing to take on complicated problems and cases. He tells his clients, “I'm not a “feel-good” therapist. I'm not here to help you feel better, I'm here to help you do better. You have to do better before you feel better.”
