There were several hundred people there and we played lots of music, set forth positive intention, and really generated some beautiful energy. Hoping that we helped to make the world a little better place.

The other day I thought I'd 'nailed' People's Parties and decided to play it to my partner and he said "Um, it just sounds like you can't fit all the words in and your gasping for breath"... not exactly the response I was after! Ange in Oz (who will keep on trying!) angetakats.com.au P.S. Thanks for the lower register version of Conversation, Susan! I hadn't heard it before... love it!

America never seemed bothered by massive killings in Uganda, China and the USSR when up to 50 million were murdered by their regimes so no matter what trumped up reason we should NOT go into any conflict with Syria. Let the U.N. enforce the violations of the Geneva convention or let the uber-wealthy Saudi Arabians, but NOT the USA (again). The V.A. doesn't care about injured veterans now, so what will happen when WW3 starts up? It is beneath Obama's intelligence to get suckered into this quagmire. With the Bushes it was to be expected! It will only push ahead the bad idea for Keystone XL and other environmental disasters while removing our rights one after another under the 'state security' veil/ lie. Joni is SO lucky to be back in Canada the only normal country in this western hemisphere (besides Equador and Venezuela). Does Kerry not recall he started the V.V.A.W.?
