Recorded
by Kevin Fleming '94, '99Ph.D.
The singer-songwriter practices narrative psychology, and narrative
psychology flows from the songs on his second CD. A rare
triple Domer, Fleming is director of training at a health-management
company, TrestleTree, near Indianapolis. As an undergraduate he
played drums in the Notre Dame jazz band and in the eclectic campus
band Dissfunktion. As a grad student he switched his focus to
singing, acoustic guitars and song writing. On Glimpse
he's joined by, among others, Jimmy Ryan, who is Mary Chapin-Carpenter's
mandolin sideman. The CD is a tuneful mix of folk, acoustic
pop and country. The often soul-searching lyrics and Fleming's
soft, earnest vocals sometimes evoke contemporary Christian music
of earlier times. As with his psychology specialty, Fleming describes
his song-writing style as story-oriented and calls Glimpse
"a very intimate recording." "All We Live" is about a friend who
died of cancer. Fleming says he plans to donate a portion of the
proceeds from sales to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Hear sample
