It’s June, and time for weddings, graduations — many rights of passage that resurrect the Pachelbel Rant.
A great weekend to all.

‘Playing For Change’ Peace!
How Producer Mark Johnson put it all together.
Morning Edition, May 4, 2009 – Until a video of “Stand by Me” had gone viral on YouTube, Roger Ridley had sung and played guitar anonymously on the streets of Santa Monica, Calif., for years. The video begins with Ridley and then mixes in 40 other musicians from around the world. It’s part of a 10-song collection called Playing for Change: Songs Around the World.
Producer Mark Johnson got the idea a few years ago when he heard Ridley’s voice on a street in Santa Monica.
“I approached him after the performance and said, ‘Hey, if I come back in an hour with some recording equipment and cameras, I’d love to record you, film you, add musicians around the world to it,’ ” Johnson says. “And he looked at me really funny, sort of thought I was crazy. But he said, ‘OK, if you come back, we’ll do it.’ “………………Rest Here with Video Links to a Couple of the Songs

“And the Cat…
is named Yusuf.” 🙂
And the Cat Came Back, (now that’s a headline!) By Lorraine Ali
Big news, right? Breaking.
Not even. @;-)
I don’t care. 🙂
It’s news that makes me very, very happy.
A man of peace, an artist of life, returns to give the part of himself that I can receive, his music.
In this time.
Via his own choice.
I am floored by the decision.
And more grateful than I can find words to explain.
Artists of life, rejoice! We have an unique, tested, treasured Voice back among us! 🙂
Enjoy! We will be Encouraged!
