5. You're welcome!

IHAD, I have to admit that I never liked the song, but can't get enough of that compilation. I guess I just didn't groove on Ben E. King's voice, but thank goodness he co-wrote it!

4. Bill Moyers had Mark Johnson on his program the man behind the production

Mark Johnson is the co-director of a remarkable documentary about the simple but transformative power of music: "Playing for Change: Peace Through Music."

Transcript here, if anyone is interested: http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/12052008/transcript3.html


It is a excellent interview about how Mark traveled the world bringing music to everyone and how music connects cultures. It gave me goose bumps watching it. It goes to show you what one man can do to bring healing to the planet.

6. Thanks so much, MagickMuffin!

I'm sorry to have missed that interview so I thank you for the transcript. It was so easy for me to get lost in the music and found it incredible that Johnson picked those locations for a particular reason. Duh! Teaches me to not to overlook the modus operandi of an artist. Found his website and he's got a great movement going on. Just beautiful.
