seeds
(... shared by a FBF) Wealthy is a venue in Grand Rapids, MI, that's been getting some good "folk" press recently.
UPDATE: Coincidence? I just got the spring calendar from The Ark (in Ann Arbor @ www.theark.org)and see that May Erlewine and Samuel Seth Bernard will be playing there on Thursday, May 20 at 8 p.m. Good to get your tickets early.

a kind of an eco-spirituality ballad
I've been waiting a long time for someone to post this amazingly wonderful song by the late Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer ... and it just occurred to me today while listening to KPFA to search for it again. Enjoy it with me.

Artists play a role in changing the world, if they choose to accept it... so when will the world recognize their contribution?

FLOWERS OF PEACE
by Pete Seeger
sung to the tune of "Wild Mountain Thyme"
Oh the summertime is coming, and the leaves are sweet returning
But those flowers of peace, it's for them I'm really yearning
Will they bloom, ever bloom?
Will they bloom in the springtime?
Oh you flowers of peace
When the world should be ringtime
Will ye bloom, ever bloom?
I built my love a bower by a clear, crystal river
But the thing her heart desires is a thing I cannot give her
Oh providence smiled impassive, while I fell on bended knee
Said, the lives of you empires are no more than swarms of bees
If you and I would see those flowers, get up and rouse your neighbors
When first the seed I'd planted, it takes long and careful labor
If you and I would see those flowers, go out and till the fertile soil
It will take more than prayers, it takes hard and sweaty toil

a garden song
Thought the first track, "After the Garden is Gone", of the new, much discussed Neil Young album is great in a gardenish sort of way. After all, aren't good gardeners supposed to care about the earth? I'd copying the lyrics but you can stream the whole album free, from the website.
