Peace Bridge - March 1-2, 2008
This was a show celebrating the building of bridges, old men gone fishin' and, above all, peace. Dona nobis pacem.
Who knew that the Niagara River is surrounded by such composers? Eleanor Daley, Marty Wimmer, Ron Martin, Persis Vehar, Chester Mais, Harold Arlen?
And why is peace in our troubled world SO elusive. Obviously it is because not everybody is becoming Freudig at our shows!
We have an answer to this dilemma. If you missed the Peace Bridge concert that was a pit but luckily our Mark Morette recorded it so stay tuned for upcoming CDs. Meanwhile you can learn more about the Peace Bridge show here.
