Way to go, Milan! Thanks for sending your song. Now to get it out into the public. Yes, the arts have played powerful roles in movements and can continue to do so. I see this as an invitation for folks to share their creativity--songs, poems, art, etc. that speaks to these times.

I am figuring that more political commentary is not going to get much of a hearing from those who have already dug in their respective trenches. But I remembered the power of our singing and the power of the arts and of poetry to reach the deeps of the human experience where the common parlance of discourse failed. I searched extensively in my meagre AI song creation resources for just the right genre for these lyrics, Country didn't quite do it. Folk came closer. R&B and Soul maybe. Celtic? not quite. Certainly not Pop. I finally settled on Blues. But any of them worked a little bit. So I have copies of them all to trot out for covers as the mood may require.Anyway, here is "A Country Song" -- Mellow Milan Hamilton80 North Center StreetRedlands, CA 92373Phone: (909) 943-1667email: melloForwmilan2@gmail.com_______________________________________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net
