DESCRIPTION:
Filmed in entirety at the Shambala Preserve in Acton, Southern California. This astounding place of healing and love is headed by Hitchcock Screen Legend, Tippi Hedren. One Magnificent Day in L.A., Karen Cadle, Toni Morrell, David Dial, Toni's Dad, Tony Burgess and his beautiful partner of 20 years, Maria Fletcher, set off to this astounding place with cameras, lighting equipment and much enthusiasm to film a video at the very place, and alongside the very majestic creatures which were the theme and the namesake of David's stunning composition, "SHAMBALA."

My Father was the "Audio Guy" carrying the boom box and was in charge of white balance for the camera (in between cups of English tea) and sweet Maria was the one providing all the tea. It was a long day, a tiring day, an inspirational day, and a truly unforgettable day.

"Life is made up of Special Moments" - a quote from our wonderful and talented Director, Karen Grace Cadle. That day at the Shambala Preserve, among the roars of the big cats, and the hugs, laughter....and the tears, we shared with Tippi, was a day filled with those oh-so SPECIAL MOMENTS.

All these years later, I would like to share it with you. Although the Shambala Music Video has been re-edited several times since, this was the original work with the heart and love we all put forth on this extraordinary day.

Ms. Tippi Hedren, you have done more for these wild yet innocent creatures than any other human being I have ever known. You will be a great star always!

Karen Cadle, for your enormous talent and input, we thank you, and we love you.

David - there is no greater Maestro to me in this entire world.

Dad and Maria....we miss you more than words can say.

With Love,
Toni
