Is My Father Becoming an Anti-War Activist?

Today is a major benchmark in the pro-peace movement. My father sent me the first pro-peace/anti-war music video he has ever sent! This is a great video to awaken patriotic pro-peace activist in the common man. It is not appropriate for children.

Blue King Brown performing 'Water':

"They have the tendency to put in their pockets everything they see,
They‘ve been taking lands all across the globe
And writing down their name on every rock and stone.
But it ain't no mystery, they’re keeping the children from their ancestry
They lock them out of their sacred ground
Well, one day I’m gonna see them pull those fences down"

Blue King Brown is composed of:

Natalie Pa'apa'a: Guitars, Vocals, Percussion
Carlo Santone: Bass, BV's
Juilian Goyma: Drums
Salvador Persico: Percussion
Sam Cope: Rhodes, Hammond, Clav, Wurly

Morning Music - Rex Foster

I have no fancy video for you for this one. People often ask me who my favorite artists are and I typically respond, "Who can pick favorites?". I can say with all honesty that Rex Foster is one of my favorite artists of all time. He is a skilled craftsman with an eye for natural beauty and an amazing musician/poet/songwriter/human. One of my favorite songs of all times is 'Freedom' from his 'Artist' CD.

Rex is, not only, a great artist...he's one of the most wonderful people you would want to meet. I have never met anyone who knows him who has anything bad to say about him. Most have a few stories to tell, but never an ugly word. If you ever have an opportunity to see him perform, take it. You can visit Rex's website here.

It's my Birthday...

Please send me to Flipside!!!

If you know me, you know I should be there.

Flipside weekend will be the weekend of my 40th BIRTHDAY!!! I made certain that nothing would get in the way of me being there this year. Although I missed the ticket deadline. I have had tickets the last 3 years in a row and was unable to go each time and each time I gave my tickets to a desiring soul.

I am now a soul in need of 3 tickets.

We reaeaeaealllllyyyyy want to go. Make my birthday dreams come true...give me a big push Over The Hill at Flipside to usher in a new decade of beauty, creativity and joy.

If you will sell or trade your tickets, we will be ever so grateful. We would also like to offer to take your picture to hang upon the place of highest honor at the Downtempo Teahouse.

See some of my fire entries here.
Some semi-recent art here.

Please contact me with any leads.

Morning Music

A tribute to hippie idealism, to beauty. John Denver sings "Last Night I had the Strangest Dream" at a peace rally:

I, too, believe in a better way. Share your way.



"Better Way"

• I'm a living sunset
• Lightning in my bones
• Push me to the edge
• But my will is stone
  

• Fools will be fools
• And wise will be wise
• But I will look this world
• Straight in the eyes
  

• What good is a man
• Who won't take a stand
• What good is a cynic
• With no better plan
  

• Reality is sharp
• It cuts at me like a knife
• Everyone I know
• Is in the fight of their life
  

• Take your face out of your hands
• And clear your eyes
• You have a right to your dreams
• And don't be denied
  

• I believe in a better way
