  1. Many thanks Bill for assembling this "first mix" of what I hope will become more than a fad or a fashion: linking your thematic images to our New York Path to Peace chants & anthems.
    If a few dozen people with the know-how pick their favorite tracks from the 8 track CD -- and add their images we'll send an ever clearer multimessage to a wartorn world.
    Heard Martin Luther King on the radio today, delivering his Beyond Vietnam call for A Revolution in Values. It is so relevant, so current, so necessary, one wise exhortation after another, one clear prescription for healing after another. The words and wisdom we need have been available to us for decades. Maybe a flood of peace-music-videos will help move us to the streets and into action.
