That way he can find out what the market will bear for that thing. They're spending a lot of money on listing fees with nothing to show for it. In other eBay news, That Voices book did find a buyer for the $325.00 price. I wish I would have had Ashara buy me 10 of them for the $25 price way back when. That book is beating the crap out of my 401K. Bob NP: Lee Dorsey, "Ya Ya" Tired of spam? Yahoo!

If this doesn't raise consciousness, I don't know what will. After I read this, my heart sank and my eyes filled with tears so I turned to look out the window toward the morning sun in prayer. As I did, my eyes landed on a photo of my oldest son, a 5 X 7 photo I have on my desk by the window. He has a very profound look on his face in the picture. Nothing can be more precious to a devoted mother than her children. I feel the pain of the mothers who are crying this weekend. It truly is time for these and all mother's to be heard. Prayers of mothers are very powerful; I know the ones for me by my mother and her mother have been. I believe prayer changes things and pray for peace with the mothers who have lost children in this illicit war. Today is my second son's birthday. He is 11 years old today. Love, Laura ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 May 2006 15:45:46 +0000 From: "Patti Parlette" Subject: Re: njc, Peace for Mother's Day Happy Birthday to your son, Laura. There is nothing like your child's birthday, I know. A day to celebrate, for sure! You wrote, about the link Kate sent us, about Carly's poem: "After I read this, my heart sank and my eyes filled with tears ........" That article had, I believe, only one stanza of the poem. I'll paste the whole thing here. Yes, you willl cry even more, but I share it as a call to action on this Mothers Day Eve. "Disarm! Disarm!" Please email your senators and congresspeople today. "It gets easier and easier to do..." thanks to the internet, they are just a few clicks away. Do it for your son or for your mom or for your future grandchildren or in memory of your grandmother or whomever.....do it for the world. Aim the hoses (emails) on them, show them we won't expire. Love, Patti P. Carly's poem -- A Nation Rocked to Sleep by Cindy Sheehan Carly Sheehan August 15th, 2005 Have you ever heard the sound of a mother screaming for her son? The torrential rains of a mother's weeping will never be done They call him a hero, you should be glad that he's one, but Have you ever heard the sound of a mother screaming for her son? Have you ever heard the sound of a father holding back his cries? He must be brave because his boy died for another man's lies The only grief he allows himself are long, deep sighs Have you ever heard the sound of a father holding back his cries? Have you ever heard the sound of taps played at your brother's grave? They say that he died so that the flag will continue to wave But I believe he died because they had oil to save Have you ever heard the sound of taps played at your brother's grave? Have you ever heard the sound of a nation being rocked to sleep? The leaders want to keep you numb so the pain won't be so deep But if we the people let them continue another mother will weep Have you ever heard the sound of a nation being rocked to sleep? The sounds my daughter wrote about in her inspired poem, so poignantly and amazingly a few weeks after her brother, my son, was killed in Iraq, have been repeated over and over again too many times since the criminal invasion/occupation of Iraq began in March of 2003. These sounds are imprinted in my DNA. I will never, ever forget the night of April 4, 2004, when I found out that Casey had been killed. After what seemed an eternity, I finally began to wonder who or what was making those horrible screaming noises. Then I realized it was me. It couldnt have been Caseys father, because he was paralyzed in stunned silence holding the pair of pants he had been folding when the deliverers of death news arrived. I will also never forget the day when we buried my sweet boy, my oldest son. Ill never forget the playing of taps, or the violent, and in hindsight, thoughtless, volley of the 21-gun salute. If I live to be a very old lady and forget everything else, I will never forget when the general handed me the folded flag that had lain on Caseys coffin, as his brother and sisters, standing behind me, sobbed. The saddest thing about the obscene sounds of violence is that they never should have been heard in the first place. From Maine to California, and from Baghdad to Falluja, these dirges were unnecessary. In my travels, and from hundreds of emails, phone calls, and cards and letters, I am discovering that people who formerly supported the invasion of Iraq are withdrawing their support. I even believe that many of our fellow citizens who still support the ignominy of Iraq are doing so because they are clinging to the deceptions so desperately, because they want the deceptions to so be the truth. It will be painful to come to terms with supporting the lies of this administration. It will be painful to know that wholesale killing of innocent people occurred because you and so many others believed the betrayals, but acknowledging the mistake is the first step to correcting it. And believe me, acknowledging the mistake is not as painful as hearing those devastating sounds. Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) has realized that he had been duped into supporting the invasion. I have spoken to him about his change of heart, and he is so sad that his wholehearted support of the administration helped cause so many good people to hear those gut wrenching sounds of grief. But he is going forward to do what he can to end this occupation as soon as possible. He has co-sponsored a bi-partisan bill (HRJ 55) with other Congressional leaders like Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and Ron Paul (R-TX) to force our administration into a troop withdrawal beginning October 1, 2006. The bill is a good first step to ensuring that families here in America and all over the world do not have to suffer needless death in war. However, I would like the withdrawal to begin tomorrow, because I don't even want to try and imagine the sounds Casey heard before he died. I don't want to imagine the sound of the bullet strong enough to pierce the Kevlar coating on his helmet to rip through his skull. I dont want to know the sounds of a mother in Iraq wailing for her entire family. These sounds need to stop immediately. It is time to bring our troops home. The sound I do want to hear is the sound of a Nation Waking Up. I will rejoice to hear the sounds of the collective Mea Culpa and the beating of breasts. I want to hear the deafening clicks as the steady stream of news-o-tainment is turned off, propaganda that is turning us into zombies who are numb to the truth. I want to hear the sound of our children getting off planes and boats from Iraq to the joyful squealing of their children and the deep sighs of relief from their spouses, parents, and other loved ones. I want to hear our citizenry lifting up their voices in chorus and singing, "We will never let this happen again." Cindy Sheehan Co-Founder Gold Star Families for Peace July 18, 2005 - ----------- P.S. When I met Cindy on December 7th, 2005, she told us that it was the last stanza of that poem that pulled her out of her very personal pain/grief/depression and spurred her to action. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 13 May 2006 09:17:51 -0700 (PDT) From: Bob Muller Subject: Joni Covers, Volume 2 Disc 2 Continuing on with project "Joni Covers Catch-Up"...

What better gift could a person ask for? I'm a mother - I'm a mother with a son who is fast approaching the age that he could be heading off to a war few people believe in. It scares the hell out of me. I live in Michigan, the state where Representative John Conyers wrote the following report: http://www.house.gov/conyers/Censure_PR.htm Stating In brief, we have found that there is substantial evidence the President, the Vice-President and other high ranking members of the Bush Administration misled Congress and the American people regarding the decision to go to war in Iraq; misstated and manipulated intelligence information regarding the justification for such war; countenanced torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment in Iraq; and permitted inappropriate retaliation against critics of their Administration. There is at least a prima facie case that these actions that federal laws have been violated  from false statements to Congress to retaliating against Administration critics." And yet this same Michigan Representative, a couple of years ago, called for the reinstatement of the draft, terrifying parents of males and females because the gilrs would no longer be exempt from being drafted if it passed. I'm a mother - I'm a mother who isn't a Christian and watches as the christian right-wing dictate everyone's private behaviour. I'm a mother - I'm a mother who believes people have the right to live and love as they choose, that marriage is an honorable institution for all sexual persuasions. I'm a mother - I'm a mother who raises her son without prejudice in his life. My best friend is a black woman that was hospitalized not long ago, the woman sharing her room insisted on being moved because she wouldn't share a room with a "nigger"... damn it's so alien to me that people are still so bigotted... When my son and I visited her he held her in his arms and told her the woman was "just plain ignorant". I'm a mother - a mother who strives to raise a son with a warm heart and who knows the real meaning of the word integrity. One who instills values in her child and hopes that being a good human being counts for a lot someday. Peace for mother's day... Oh, how I wish it were possible!

I got to play Vladimir Horowitz' D503 Steinway concert grand. Better yet, I played "Paprika Plains" on it. Oh yeah. Compositional genius meets provenance...too bad I was the vessel. It was a rare experience and one I don't think I could have had if I was in the presence of anyone but a few strangers who wanted to sell me something. The D503 was given to Horowitz in 1934 and has traveled the world with it's former owner. The cabinet shows signs of being transported and reassembled hundreds of times but the inside is clean as a whistle. I thought it played a little bright on the very lowest and highest ends but was SO SO warm in the middle while being equally voiced. The action is not as heavy as I would have imagined. It is at a piano salon in Los Angeles (it's leaving tomorrow, on tour with Van Cliburn's rig), and the salespeople encouraged me to sit down at it. If I had 50 large, I'd have bought a piano just to say thanks. Instead I just said, "thanks!" Then I said, "yes, thank you thank you thank you SO much!" Now I think I'm going to learn Schumann's "Traumerei." Wish I'd done it before today.
