Why "Jungle Physicians"?

I liked the term "Jungle Physician" when I read it in a translation of the Ashtanga yoga opening chant.

Interesting combination of words, like "Love & Rockets".

Who?

Andy Warren and friends.

I've released one album and one EP. Some songs appeared on "Love Monkey" and "Men in Trees".

For several years I worked at a unique music shop in Vancouver called Highlife World Music. (In fact I still maintain their website.)

Some highlights and influences from my time there include: Thievery Corporation, Michael Franti, owners Kevin & Dennis, co-workers Denise, & Nils (not pictured) :
