Song for Australia & upcoming Harmony Bones concert 3/14

[Jeanne Mackey]

Greetings,

In response to the devastation caused by the fires in Australia, my friend and bandmate Laz Slomovits wrote a prayer song for rain. Our band, Harmony Bones (Laszlo Slomovits, Linda Teaman, Tom Voiles, John Lloyd, yours truly, and Eric Fithian), recorded the song, Tom Voiles, who engineered and produced the recording, added a video component. The song is a lovely way to send blessings to Australia, and to all other places on Earth that are burning.

Watch the video: Rain, Rain (Song for Australia). You can also download the single directly from CD Baby

Feel free to forward this on to others who may be interested.

We hope to see you Saturday, March 14, 8:00pm, at Cafe 704, Interfaith Center for Spiritual Growth, 704 Airport Blvd. Ann Arbor, where we’ll perform this new song and many others. Flyer is attached.

And here's a reminder from one of my heroes, Howard Zinn:

“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness....

And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.”
― Howard Zinn

Peace & persistence,
