Subject: New Songs for Peace ... submissions req
Thought some of you songwriters working for peace might be interested in this UNESCO project.   

The UN declared the decade 2001-2010 the International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Nonviolence for Children of the World. This UNESCO project, "New Songs for Peace" is meant to "be a book of songs available to teachers, activists, singers and others as a way of promoting both singing and a consciousness for peace". They are asking for submissions from songwriters for possible inclusion.

Also, the idea was raised on another thread recently about creating a Mudcat CD to raise awareness and funds for worthy peace projects, and I thought that idea worth refreshing!

Here's to peaceful thoughts ... and sounds!

"I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends." - Abraham Lincoln


"If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in the room." -
Anita Roddick


"When in despair I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won; there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end they always fail." - M.K.Gandhi
