From: Ethan Gold <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2005 Subject: Re: Peace Songs For A Better World Being on this cd reminded me of my original mission. From: David Gillis [email protected] Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2005 "Peace Songs for a Better World" was a worthwhile endeavor for me personally. Not only did I receive a great deal of positive feedback as a result of my submission, I also felt I was contributing a positive message to the world". From: Finn Coren [email protected] Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2005 Subject: Re: Peace Songs For A Better World Been receiving mails from people and peace organizations around the world that have been enjoying my song "Riverboatman". I've also been communicating with some of the other artists on the CD. So it's been been a joy contributing a song for "Peace Songs for a Better World". Finn Coren From: christa couture <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2005 16:06:48 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: Peace songs For A Better World ... Here are my thoughts on being on the cd - being included on the Peace Songs for a Better World cd has been an excellent experience. it began with the questions I asked myself when I saw the call for entries - what peace is in my life? where do I see peace? where do I see the need to create more peace? internally, externally, there are many interpretations of this short but powerful word. so I submitted a song that for me, was a journey to self-discovery and finding peace within myself. hearing the other songs on the compilation happily continued my train of thought - thinking about peace and a desire for change. connecting with the other artists on the cd, in person when at the Winterfolk Festival and via email, has been the best outcome of being part of this project. as well, my song has now had airplay in the US, Ireland, Germany and others - corners of the world I've not yet reached on my own. personally and professionally it has been enriching, I am grateful to be a part of it. cheers, christa From: Sean Altman <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2005 14:20 -0400 Subject: Re: Peace Songs For A Better World I've received emails from people around the globe who are enjoying my song "Change My World" and thanking me for participating in the project. It feels good to contribute to a worthwhile effort like this. Thanks for the opportunity. Sean Altman From: <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2005 Blair Hansen here :) This project was so wonderful to be a part of. I listened to the entire cd and ran across new artists that are now some of my favorites. I had many friends and family listen to the cd and they love it. They are also passing it on to other friends. The message of 'peace' is being spread around. I feel very honored to have been a part of this project. It's nice to know that one of my songs is helping to spread peace... something that this world needs :) Sincerley, Blair Hansen From: Quincy <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2005 Subject: Re: Peace Songs For A Better World Its always an awesome feeling to be a part of something that is putting smiles on peoples faces.

I just came upon your website and love what you're doing. I head up the Positive Music Association www.PositiveMusicAssociation.com with the main purpose of creating a better world through music. A primary goal is to establish a new category of music called "poz" (short for positive). (It's not religious by the way.) Feel free to let the musicians who are involved in Artists for a Better World know about the PMA. There is an emerging group of musicians out there who are dedicated to using music as a way to effect positive change. And the more we can unite our efforts, the louder our music and voices will be heard.Cheers, Scott Under Construction
