Two from Bee; she participates in the blog strike on Thursdays, for Gaza. Both excellent pieces; one from Pink, one from Alicia Keys, each with some info about the artist and her music.
Here’s my selection for today:

Songs For Peace
Bee shares some music from Emanuel Jal, along with his story of surviving being trained as a child soldier in Sudan to escaping to be adopted in Canada, and practicing/crafting his art. Go see!
And my selection:
Music For Peace On Monday
A somber anniversary on Bee’s Peace Song November, Sunday entry. The song is must hear!
———-
I first heard my selection during the occupation (post invasion) of Iraq, in 2004/05. Earlier Sunday, I was reading about Sec. Duffy’s appearances on TV regarding air travel, and the song popped into my head in regard to Sec. Duffy’s facial expression in a video I didn’t watch.
We can do better.
Music For Peace On Sunday
A great song from Bee today, with interesting facts about the artist, Wiyaala. I hope you all enjoy the song as much as I do!
I decided on a little Curtis Mayfield for our Sunday Peace Song.
Peace On Friday
As mentioned Wednesday, Bee observes the Global Strike for Gaza on Thursdays. So we had our Bee blog for Thursday then. And here is Peace Music from Scottie’s Playtime, for both today and yesterday, here.
For Thursday, enjoy some Three Dog Night:
Michael Seidel gave a great suggestion, so here it is for Friday: Rock On For Peace!
Wednesday Music For Peace
Bee posted a couple of versions of a wonderful peace song. I’m going to re-post them underneath the reblog, because this song should be heard, and it’s very beautiful in another language. I recall the English version during the runup to and invasion of Iraq by the US, but never heard the German version until last night. Enjoy! ☮
For Peace!
Music Against War Today
suze mentioned a great song, and I’m happy to play it today. It’s a rocker! Here’s what Bee shared; there is some personal history, plus her chosen song.
And for suze, For The World! Edwin Starr:
Peace Song Challenge
While the challenge is simple and explained in Bee’s posts, all one need do is either reblog/post on your own blog, answer in comments, or go to Bee’s, and tell us of the peace song you particularly love, or want to hear. Link it if you can. That’s all! Let’s ripple world peace all across the universe! 🕊 ☮ ✌
The song I choose for this one is not nearly as obscure as yesterday’s; enjoy some George Harrison.

Bee explains it all here:
This will be up early on Nov. 2nd, which puts us a day behind though I’m doing this on Nov. 1st. Anyway, today I choose “I Declare World Peace,” lyrics by Lawrence R. Gelber, performed by Win Thompkins. Enjoy an obscure bit of music, and be sure to click through to Bee’s to see her peace music, too, and share your own peace music!
