A SONG OF PEACE
(Imagine)
(With love to John Lennon, and a salute to the United Nations)
The world is racked by conflicts
There always shall be more
But we believe that people
Can choose to banish war.
That all can come together
With one clear goal of Peace!
You may think that we are dreamers
In this poor world that seems so sad
To believe our words can change the human heart–
Perhaps we are a little mad.
Imagine all the countries
With all their fears and greed
Meeting together freely
To talk of things they need
Food for their hungry children,
Clean water, land and health
Working altogether
To share our planet’s bounteous wealth.
The world is racked by conflicts
There always shall be more
But we believe that people
Can choose to banish war.
That all can come together
With one clear goal of Peace!
Now let us all be dreamers
This is a dream we must pursue
UNTIL NO child will ever KNOW..the threat of war–
Until the dream we have comes true.

SANTA CRUZ RAGING GRANNIES
Great start on the web site, Granny Jan!
How about a list of all the places and events where the SC Grannies have sang?
Wow, Pavel! I couldn’t even think of them all! We’ve sung at so many peace rallies and vigils, so many protests and die-ins, at speeches by Medea Benjamin, Sam Farr, Daniel Hirsch, and many others; we’ve sung in parades and boy, did we belt out some happy songs on Obama’s Inauguration Day, just before WILPF put on a huge street party that all of Santa Cruz got into in a very big way! We’ve put on several concerts: at the Crepe Place, the Coffee Roasting Company, De Anza Mobile Home Park, Sunshine Villa. Sometimes, we just go out on Pacific Ave. in downtown Santa Cruz and sing our hearts out. I hope you come and see us tne next time we do our thing; we’ll let you know on this website. Thanks for writing us. Jan
We lovedyour songs. I especially liked the 2 songs on your 1st video. Thanks for including our video taken at a wet Clearwater, 2008. Corinne
What a terrific website! The links to the Youtube videos are great fun. We love the Raging Grannies—and when will you Twiiter?
We twitter, we chirp, we warble, we squawk–geez, what more do you want? But thanks for the pat on the back!
Thanks, Corinne! I’m putting your gaggle’s link on the site. Now we can share songs. I have the video of a New York group singing “I’ve Always Paid My Taxes,” which I wrote. Was that you? I’m so glad you’re out there! Jan Harwood
nowadays, we are seeing some water shortage and water conservation is even more necessary~’;
Love the gay songs, Would love to hear them sung !
We have no idea what all these comments are referring to–we do have some good water conservation songs, but this is ridiculous! If we did help preserve even one little drop of pure H2O, however, good on us!

Have you heard about the Wordpress plugin that allows you to automatically link certain text in your blog? It cloaks affiliate links and sets them up automatically as well. This is actually a pretty powerful little tool and it does much more than just create links on a blog. So if you are trying to make money from an affiliate program with a financial theme, you could set it up so that your keywords in your blog automatically link to your affiliate URL and the link would be cloaked so that it just looks like the user would be going to a different page on your blog. by varying the link anchor texts and linking to deeper pages in the site, you should be able to see some improvements in your overall search engine rankings. Once you give this thing a try, you will certainly want to use it on any new or existing blogs that you own. If you haven’t already heard about this, I urge you to check it out.

Dear Lilly,
I knew you in the Bronx when I was just a tiny girl. My parents were Tess and Irving. I still remember you. Your warmth was extraordinary. I searched for you because I dreamed about you last night, I guess bec. it was mother’s day and when I was very young I wished y’d been my mother!! In any case, I’m thrilled you are a raging granny! I had no idea you were Moe Fishman’s sister! I have been a union activist for almost 30 years now, first in the transport workers and now in the teachers union. It’s wonderful to read about your life and inspirational.
My warmest wishes and regards to you and your family. -Marian
Thanks for your publish. My spouse and i have usually observed that a lot of people are eager to lose weight when they wish to appear slim plus attractive.

Thankfully that people who definitely are overweight in addition to suffering from diverse diseases can reduce the severity of the illnesses by means of losing weight. It is possible to see a constant but marked improvement in health if even a minor amount of weight reduction is achieved gywl512.
