Pickin for Peace ~
Its belong to a project a started way back bringin back
old songs about peace from the Alan Lomax book and other
sources ! I started that with We_Shall_Not_Be_Moved(with dreadmon)
http://www.macjams.com/song/34548 and I thought it ll be a delight
to call on friends to think and pick and bring live with such songs
so I started a thread Banjo for Peace and I was so happy to have
Joseph Brady sayin he s interested and then James Bouchard tellin me
he is a banjo picker .so I thought its perfrect to let it go both
two remarkable muscians here and I m so honored to colab with such
fine people and here s what they wrote me after the song finished :
Jim Bourchard((I don't really have much to say, actually. It's your project, go ahead and run with it.thanks for asking, though. ))
Joseph Brady(( thanks for this experience; pleasure playing on this
and fun working with you; If only our leaders would try a little
Macjams pickin' maybe this world would have a few less problems.
The bounty of peace is far greater than any spoils of war. Peace to
you and your loved ones ))
thanks alot folks was just so much pleasure to see this happening
and wish more people intouch with em cos I do have more for this
project wish more people intouch for more songs !!

personals:
Feter:Vocal , Mr.Sanchez and Mr.Brown .handy(my harp)
James Bouchard-http://www.macjams.com/artist/Jim+Bouchard : Banjo and mixing

Appealing &mdash 12/16/07 - 06:23:14 AM
This is a very catchy track. You don't hear much 'real' banjo on this site. A real pleasure.

Could've been a song from "Brother, Where Art Thou."

I have had my kids at school sing this song a few times. A real evergreen. The lyrics are timeless.

[ Reply to This ]
Peace !! &mdash 12/16/07 - 12:19:29 PM
Thnx alot John these Kind comments realy meant
alot to me as they came from a musician I do
respect alot .
and yes I m with you about we dont hear Banjo
around here and thats why I called for Banjo
for PEACE ! .. Glad Jim and Joe come along
and charmed us with their colab and wonderfull
Pickin ' ... !

O Brother where art tho .. realy made a big
turn for me .I was looking for that kind of music
and it was there !!

thank you so very much

peace !

[ Reply to This ]
cool! &mdash 12/16/07 - 01:40:18 PM
so earthy, real, and warm - this would be great as underscore for a movie scene - that harmonica is a nice touch - and if that's a live banjo then it kicks major a**. hey feter you have an American pioneer's spirit, that's for sure

[ Reply to This ]
Peace ! ` &mdash 12/16/07 - 01:48:27 PM
Thnx alot my friend glad you enjoyed the song
and yes this Banjo is REAL and I was so happy
to have Jim pickin his Banjo he s a fabulous guy !
you realy kind for your nice comment and thank you

yeah &mdash 12/17/07 - 11:22:06 AM
We need more songs that add to peace--there's so much in the world that destroys it.

Interesting mix. The vocals sound like they're in a jar filled with water, and I like it. Harmonica is wonderful--who played that?

Feter, your voice is perfect for this song. I can't wait to hear "We shall not be moved" I love that song!

[ Reply to This ]
Peace !! &mdash 12/17/07 - 12:51:23 PM

True American Folk &mdash 12/17/07 - 08:40:29 PM
Feter--

This is a very good collab! What's to say that others have not said? This is Americana through and through, and I love it! Your vocals carry a certain import that comes with wisdom and experience--one who has done many miles on the tracks and has seen much come and go. Very good folk piece!

[ Reply to This ]
Peace !! &mdash 12/17/07 - 08:53:55 PM
Thnx Rick you too kind these comments I appreciated
much as they came from a very talented musician himself !
thank youvery much glads you like it !

Hihi &mdash 12/19/07 - 05:57:32 PM
And now for something completely different. Davisamerica and you keep on making my nightcaps light as a feather. I'll drop my worries down by the riverside. I'll meet my gal down by the riverside. Sigh, well the latter is just a wish;). Although the effect on the voices is weird, the production is good, I find the playing loose and awesome. It just flows from heart to the fingers/ mouth. Good show.
Happy holydays to you sir and the entire crew! (intentional typo)

Great song with a great message. Wonderful performance and production. Somehow the vocal reminded me of the late great Country Dick Montana and the Beat Farmers - I hope you take that as the heartfelt compliment I mean it to be. Hats off to you all!

Down by the Riverside &mdash 01/01/08 - 10:47:40 PM
Hey ya Feter,
Classic folk, definitely a great choice! Takes me back to the days when I tuned in to all the folk shows on tv back in the sixties....watchin' Dylan, Seegar, Kingston Trio, Peter, Paul & Mary, The Staple Singers, and many more of that genre. This is what music is all about!!!!

Havin' a great time listenin' to you & your friends,
Wade
