In late 2019, I was asked to give a keynote and performance for the United Nations International Day of Peace at the Hostelling International in downtown Chicago. They asked if I could talk about the relationship between music and world peace. I responded, "Absolutely!" and got to work.
For that event, I had to fill about 40 minutes with talking and any question and answer. Two years later, while visiting my wife, Megan Corse, in Los Angeles, I cut the "script" down to about 20 minutes. Then, the two of us went out to one of our favorite places, the Pacific Palisades in Santa Monica, and recorded me sharing the trimmed down speech. I added some of my music and stock video footage, and released the video.
Here's my take on the relationship between music and peace. I hope it spurs some dialogue, some deep dives, and a nice pause to consider the depths of human connections across the planet.
I decided to add this video, and its audio, to my limited podcast series, to round out the number of episodes and give something positive to follow my last couple episodes that were recorded during COVID lockdowns in the US and UK.
