Dear family, friends, and fellow travelers,
The tune this cycle is We Will Rise. We've been on the road this week, visiting kids and grandkids. Such deep sorrow, worry and fear we see as we travel, even as spring shows its first signs and the joy and fervor of our grandkids shines. There are such real and imminent problems to face in our time, in our country. It is hard to see our leadership deliberately creating fear and discord while focusing on themseles and their desire for fame, fortune, and power. The world needs us all to pull at the oars of cooperation, mutual support and service to each other. Instead, we attack those committed to service, villanize the most vulnerable, rewrite history as if that might erase the failures and problems that remain in our times.
We Will Rise remembers how we have and can come together in times of crisis, disaster and chaos to support each other and bring hope where devastation and fear have wrought great pain. I didn't have recording equipment with me - forigve the phone quality recording.
Hand in hand, together, we will rise.
Love and Courage,
Brian
I'm sending you a monthly offering from original music I've been writing over many years. I've been so bold as to add your email to my newsletter list. You can unsubscribe at any time (link at the bottom of the email).
Many songs are recorded solo, some are from different musical twinings from over the years - all are original tunes, with some occasional collaborations.
Play your favorites!
I've also added a Favorites feature so that, as the playlists grow, you can mark those songs you particularly like and just listen to those, again from using the drop down filter at the top of the playlist. Right now it's a two-step process. You have to click on the song you want to mark on the playlist and then go to the side bar (bottom on phone) and click the gray heart so select; click again to deselect.
On the technical side, the favorites function relies on you not clearing your cookies, often the default setting. Favorites will be lost if cookies are cleared. I hope to add a login feature that would allow you to keep your selections without cookies.
Finally, realizing that many people no longer have a CD player, Leonore and I made our three albums available for free here on the site in playlists. There's a tab, Albums, on the top menu. Select the album you want to hear from the dropdown and enjoy. Songs are free to download as well. We will make some CDs for those who may want that medium - if that is your desire, feel free to contact me.
