you how much is your how much is your cd ten dollars ok very good everyone should get one thank you very much there in asia i wasn't ready for yesterday was ready to  called a different shade of blue very mention that i had the incredible opportunity of performing with pete more than fifty times in the past  i even sang a couple songs on as it is on his last album and so i naturally was listening to the album and i discovered another song that i thought was just really summed it up the song he wrote it a year before he passed a this keep the flame the tradition of singing using music and singing as a tool to build and nurture communities to keep that alive the song is called keep the i'm working on a book and one of the chapters is peace sigur the collector of wisdom and he had a lot of wisdom and he told me he told hundreds of younger musicians anybody who is younger than ninety five years old can can really take this to heart learn the old songs learn the different ways they were sung by different groups of people but change the words to keep them up to date and write new verses about the world we live in today and write new songs that everybody can sing along to and in that  miners they're all getting the shaft from the banks i mean think about it where the banks get that money to build that building man up marble they got it from the sweat of the farmers in the mine t sea and today there are so many people today who are getting the shaft too don't have many verses written about them but the folks catalog so i want to about all raise your hand here anybody knows somebody who has some college debt this next verse here might be a little challenging for some folks it was the day after thanksgiving two thousand and thirteen good people all around the united states of america are holding protest cold and rainy day and windy and i had to use the bat but i was not going to go with that woman said i just stood around dancing like this and we sang songs we sang this song and put this first together for the retail worker  anything as you start the story learning the old songs and you start hearing the stories you know the modern man has only been on this planet for forty thousand years and we only started the message the dog ten thousand years ago and they go eight thousand years ago and we seven thousand years ago and you know and things started really speeding up when we started grow wheat because now people had a lot of food in the population group thanks stuart pastor pastor pastor the amount of change that has happened in the last one hundred years twenty years into a time to build up and one of the things that i quote from he told me is that you don't have to tear down a house in order to rebuild its foundation but you have to know what the foundation is and you know that's a subject of debate but that's a good debate to have i think that part of the foundation is the hammer of justice the bell of freedom and the song that we sing a song of love between all of my brothers and all of my sisters all over the world regardless of their it color of their skin or the shape of the rise if i was at the speak their orientation i mean god created people so many different ways so many different forms you just gotta love them all right and i started getting worried about about you know direction our country's going in and i had a fear that maybe they were finally going to break the hammer of justice once and for all i talked to my friend john mccutcheon about that and he said you know they can't break that hammer justice because you and me and all of us together we are the hammer of justice we are and f l of freedom well that's not just a piece of metal that's hanging up in philadelphia that the freedom is right here in our hearts always have a song to sing and november he finally really lost the voice for good this time and he called me up on the phone and he said spoke you're going to have to leave the songs and i said pete that doesn't sound like a good idea i've lost my voice and i said don't worry about that have the audience has a poster he was but he also said i've lost my memory you know and i think you just don't work anymore and so we talked about what songs we were going to do and and and fortunately when we did the show suddenly pete came came back to life and he put on the probably the best show ever did he he really did lose his voice and he really did lose his that sturdiness fingers and he really did lose his memory and it was really nothing left except the love and humanity had in his heart and it was the most it was the most heart wrenching beautiful concert that i ever went to participated him and and he did sing it so it worked but in preparation for it one of the songs that we planned to do and and did do is a song called quite early morning and there's a line in the song mrs wendy's thinkers can strum no longer hand the old banjo to younger ones stronger and i said to pete the week before the show i said pete if i sing that song to life liberty and property and thomas jefferson was thinking about this for property property by the seventeenth seventies including the ownership of other human beings he didn't like that idea the
