    I have a penchant for reading the notes on an album, even if it is a simple list of song titles and names of the players. WIthout the story of where the music originated, the story is lost. Enjoy this CD or give it to someone who will spin it occasionally.

about

In 2020, a collective consciousness of "we're in this together" appeared through a crack in time and place.

The Black Lives Matter movement & protests burgeoned with more activist, non-coloured, individuals joining the fold to march. Briefly.

If a person is suffering, we all suffer. To change anything, some individuals give & self sacrifice & suffer for good cause. Thank you to the many, many, who do, and to Joseph-Christopher Luamba who fought in court for ten years to win a recent victory in Montreal Canada by a law struck down.

I will continue to ally in any way I can and to learn more as I grow. I didn't understand racism as a child, and it continues to baffle me. Still, I have a way to go to bring the full force of my convictions to real life. Blessings on the friends and family affected by all this tragedy.

lyrics

A Little Mercy

How will we bridge the distance
Across the divide
There is so much resistance
ignorance and pride
The news goes on and on
Until it brings me to my knees
I seek right from wrong
And a little Mercy

Maybe we’ll find a teacher
Help us hear the call
Poets prophets preachers
Bring lessons to us all
There are few words
And many wounds to ease
Speak and be heard
With a little…Mercy

If we keep on working
Peace may have a chance
Bells start ringing
When justice is our stance

There will be redemption
Once everyone believes
no unjust exemptions
