It is really cold and raining hard outside... 
You get a minute to sit back, close your eyes and smell a cup of hot chocolate...

While you are listening to this piece of music...

Enjoy.

Piano for a rainy day

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH - UNIVERSAL PEACE SONG

The UNIVERSAL PEACE SONG has been composed as part of a Childrens' Book Project, designed to benefit South African Children.  The goals of the book (written by Peter Burford, Caron Potocnik and Abigail Elliott) are to present healthy role models and healthy moral guidelines for children.  In addition, the underlying message of the book is the importance of Peace and Futility of war.  In the story. this  is developed through Princess Ebony Pearl (a mermaid ).   She is given the task of finding a way to stop war and promote peace.  In the largest Deep Sea Conference ever held, she and the sea creatures discuss the problem in earnest, and come up with a solution.  As warring tribes approach each other, they will surface between the approaching boats, the Princess mounted on a beautiful dolphin.  She will sing the beautiful Peace Song and all who hear it will be mesmerised by her crystal clear  voice and the message of Peace will be entrenched in the hearts and minds of all who listen.  Understanding this message, they will try to live it in their personal lives, thereby helping to end war for all times. The musical compilation of the Universal Peace Song has been accordingly composed by Jacques Steyn and lyrics Caron Potocnik, to bring this project and Peace message into reality.  With this, it is hoped that all who listen to the beautiful music and words will make the message of Peace part of their own hearts and minds - as in the Childrens' story.

As such, the book and Universal Peace Song have been dedicated to Dr Nelson Mandela in recognition of his life work for peace.  As further as tribute to him and his own committment to the welfare of children, 50% of the book profits and 20% of the Universal Peace Song Sale profits will be dedicated to Childrens' welfare organisations.

Universal Peace Song

Myself, Jacques Steyn & Theuns Anema from Soul Tattoo came together after many years and rerecorded one of my favourite Soul Tattoo songs called Turn. Strong message.
Would have loved to have ozzy play the guitar himself and with internet and all that, we'll pull it off, but for now, it's me everywhere on all the instruments. Drums played on the midi piano. Hope you like
