"The most dangerous weapon? A melody that makes ‘us vs. them’ sound absurd."
if you play one thing today . . . . make it this
Playing For Change feat. Sara Bareilles, Chris Pierce & PFC Band | Song Around The World
might sign off for the day with this great song . . .and it summarises all I believe in the current state of the world . . . . US vs THEM!? There is only one race the human race and I will not condemn my brother and sisters for adhering to an invisible line on a map
Experience the magic of collaboration as Playing For Change brings together the legendary Jackson Browne, with some of the greatest musicians from around the world for a stunning rendition of his classic, "Doctor My Eyes.”
This Song Around The World reunites members of “The Section”— Leland Sklar and Russ Kunkel, who played on the original 1972 song. This reimagining blends the amazing musical stylings of Zakir Hussain, Giovanni Hidalgo, Char and 11 amazing musicians from around the globe, along with a special introduction of the extraordinarily talented Chavonne Stewart, who all collectively create an evocative piece that speaks to the unifying power of music.

"You can lean on me brother, I can see you've carried too long..." This lyric is something we can all relate to. Sometimes life gets to be too much or too hard and we need somewhere positive to put our troubles so we can move on. Music is one of best places to put your problems and lay down your burdens, and when you hear Luke Winslow-King, Vasti Jackson, Dr. John, and Roots Gospel Voices of Mississippi sing these words, you know everything is going to be alright.

|Live Outside | | Playing For Change
I love this and am a huge fan of the guys here Mermans especially (from the DRoC and South Africa) and the Nation Steel steel player Roberto Luti from Italy
Mavis Staples played a gig last night and ended with a cover of 'The Weight’ she didn’t say a word . . . . .
. . . . she didn’t need to
3 years ago . . . “The Weight,” features Ringo Starr and The Band's original member Robbie Robertson, along with musicians across 5 continents. Great songs can travel everywhere bridging what divides us and inspiring us to see how easily we all get along when the music plays. Special thanks to our partner Cambria® for helping to make this possible and to Robbie Robertson, Ringo Starr and all the musicians for joining us in celebrating 50 years of this classic song.
Thanks to 'Playing For Change' a Christmas wish from the master, Keb Mo!

Let's end the day with this from the guys at Playing For Change with Robbie Robertson, Ringo, Marcus King started off the vocals, Roberto Luti on National Steel slide who seems to be on everything and rightly so to, there's also Larkin Poe, Lukas Nelson, Mermans Mosengo who I have mentioned before and always enjoy his vocal style, and many of the regular contributors at P4C 50 years after it became a hit . . . . . . . .
