Thanks Ty

I’ve been finding lately the harder I work the luckier I get. But yes… I am lucky. I know what makes me happy… and I try very hard to do that thing.

I think too they were rather lucky to have me as well. Each of the four volunteers brought their own particular brand of expertise… verve and personality to the production. I have a sneaking suspicion this is how such a magical outcome was realised at this particular time in this particular place. There was not one person left unchanged by the event. It was awesome… in the truest most sincere form of the word!

Hi Jean,
What a fantastic project. Excellent! It must have been such an uplifting experience for all of those involved in it. Loved the music clip and the wonderful collaboration. A great thing to be involved in – lucky you. Ty

Hi Mary… so pleased you enjoyed it. The best thing is to be able to share my excitement about this here on the Blog. It really was an extraordinary experience and as it’s the season for it… I’m just so grateful to have been given the opportunity to be involved.

Yes summer is upon us down here… thanks for your good wishes!

Hey Ingrid! So glad you liked it. And thanks for dropping by to take a look. MusoMagic was such great fun to be involved in. As you can see.

It was great catching up with you all yesterday. Love spending time with paint spattered friends! Just checked out your Flickr site. Wow… your photography is nothing short of phenomenal. You’re creating quite a stir over there. Go you!

Jean, it was great catching up with you again today. Now I understand where you have been, instead of baby sitting me )
This project had me totally in awe what was achieved in this short space of time. The lyrics and music are fabulous and all the kids looked like they had a blast. What a wonderful project to be involved in.

Incredibly… still have the buzz going almost a week later! LOL Thoughts turn to my old guitar still sitting in storage after all these months. Must get out there and see if I can find it… I’ve got a strong yen to make some noise! (((chuckles)))

AG… how do you do it all?

StarJam looks wonderful. It’s gratifying to know that there are people out there working everyday miracles for people who can’t do for themselves. Knowing this kind of softens the hard edges don’t you think? I’m tired of hard edges. Some days there’s just too many of them. Involvement like this keeps the focus outward and the ‘artbeat going. That’s what I’m trying to do. x

Now this makes my heart sore. There are some truly spectacular people out there – changing the world, one smile at a time. I have no doubt that your energy and enthusiasm was another beautiful piece of the puzzle Jean. Very inspirations stuff. If you get a chance check out StarJam.org – but have a box of tissues handy – actually click on this link if you can – http://www.starjam.org/video-all-about-starjam/. In fact I will post it on my blog. I have become an ambassador for this group. Take care. Lots of love – Andrew
