I'm Not Writing Songs Right Now Because. . . .

It would be nice to have time to write new songs and remake my most recent music videos. I did them with a Logitech Quick Cam Pro, which has lots of great features, but the sound does not please me. I'm also not really well set up with it, so I'm not condemning it, only saying that I have not set it up for music videos. It seems great for talking to people, even as a Real Player file, if not live, but I'm working on my Music for a Better World.blogspot.com blog, and its counterpart, http://bostonmusicianscoop.com, which is hosted for a fee at HostGator. I have so much work to do, and so little time. Maybe that's good, since I am "retired" and don't want to be bored.

what's keeping me up all night on the Internet? I have a dream. Here's where it starts: We owe something to the kids to be born in decades to come, and so far, our legacy looks really bad. Imagine being born into a world where climate changes make life very difficult, or, for many in Africa and lands dependent of monsoon rains, nearly impossible, a world where miserably poor and desperate people are given weapons and sent to the better off place looking for a better life, or, if that's not attainable, revenge for being victimized - rabble rousers from various nations or factions will supply the propaganda to make migrating people attack rather than join their new neighbors. Imagine being born into a land where the money does't buy enough to feed your child. Imagine finding no power when you turn on the lights, or no clean water in your pipes. Most people in the world are like that. No power (no refrigerator, no elevator, no lights or computers - they are getting along without anything that requires power as Americans know it. I spent 30 months, July 2005-January 2008) in the most populous area in the whole world, Asia, and I saw how the great masses of people live!

It's my dream to unite music makers, producers, technicians, performers, writers, marketers, everyone - even dancers - in creating music that will inspire people to be just, kind, tolerant, and to respect the earth and all its living things, human and non-human, and its great weather engines, the sea, landforms, and atmosphere. so that life can continue to flourish as it has in the past.

Please go to musicforabetterworld.blogspot.com and, soon, http://bostonmusicianscoop.com to join in this great, worldwide effort.
Thanks!
