Dear Friends,
I’m delighted to share many of the live recordings from our second annual MLK concert on Monday, January 15, 2017, 7 pm, at St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church.
With the support of The Reverend Susan Sowers, Pastor Mary Peterson, Sammie Tucker, and the entire St. Christopher’s staff; Dasha Teelin and I planned this concert, Peace Like a River, because we all have our part to sing in this world.
Bringing peace and love into the world through music is my life and work, yet I also know that none of us are alone. So I’m grateful for everyone who planned, sang, attended, and participated in any way. Thank you!!!
May the music recordings from this concert continue to bless and bring peace to all who listen.
