Poetry of music: Playing for Change has a song, and I think Louis Armstrong would be proud
It’s easy to love what these guys do – they have everyone in the world throw in on the song they sing…here’s more about Playing for Change & what they do. And I mean everyone, including you. You’ll be in on this one before it’s over. And here’s a bit about this production: Playing For…
Thoughts: Simply simple….
A friend told me that she has added the Ten Most Important Things According to Brother Ian (what ten? check here) to her morning practice…she does her morning asanas, meditates, pets the cat, then looks at the Ten Things before she sits down with her organic coffee & checks her e-mail, the news & other…
