I've been feeling very emotional about the huge challenges facing humanity recently, especially in the developing world, where the struggle is very real.
People are starving. Human slavery is on the rise. There are no jobs. Suicide rates are up. Desperation too. The longer this pandemic goes on, the harder it is for those struggling the most! And then Gary Crause sent me the video of One Phuket
Another Day in Paradise today. We participated in the community part, to support this amazing effort. But if you have a look, you'll see we have so much musical talent on this island, and they are all struggling to make ends meet, and yet this community has not stopped working to do what they can do to help those even in more need. I can't tell you how much I admire them and it definitely put my emotions over the edge today. Yes I admit to tearing up. I still am writing this.
If you are in Phuket and want your kids to learn music, please reach out to Phuket Academy of Performing Arts - Music Lessons - a business hammered by this crisis, and yet what do they do? Give back. Gary and Debbie Taylor Crause are amazing humans. Gary is also a producer, and he can sort out your audio books, original recordings, podcast music and more - you don't even have to be here, he can do it remotely. Support them. They deserve it and I love them. Check out Legend Music - Recording Studio.
When the song is available for sale, I'll share it. A small way to help our work in Phuket. The donation details are also available at the end of the recording for One Phuket. Dig deep. We've got a lot of people to help here.
Big love to everyone and keep the faith. I am surrounded by people doing beautiful work, and going above and beyond. There is a lot of beauty in this world xxxxxx
