For a Good Cause

Dakotawind — 2008-11-26T13:49:00-08:00

I read in the Forum the other day..., a Good Cause - music event.
The cause is PEPP-People Escaping Poverty Project. It’s free and for all ages.

The local radio or TV stations haven’t caught on yet all the benefits the F-M Association of Songwriters do and help out with.

Maybe, if ,someone from WDAY, The Flag, KFGO, TV11,etc,happen to read this, they will do a PSA, why not they do it for others.

On Nov 29th - 7pm to 10pm at Babb’s coffeehouse
downtown Fargo, main street,

The F-M Association of Songwriters will put on a showcase of 5 talented songwriters.
They are Jack Schauer,Judy Rae,Scot Kelsh,Lysa Ringuist and Vic Pellerano.
Everyone, knows how I feel about the music of this Vic Pellerano,guy, He is something to listen to. For me,I enjoy his music, maybe it’s not for everyone, but I like it. So, I know I’m going.

I’m looking forward to the event. I’ve been to their showcases before, they all put on a great show. Each a talent in their own right, each their own style. So, it worth your time.

So, warm up with a hot cup of Joe,a bagel or a piece of pie at Babb’s coffeehouse and mingle abit.

Hope to see you there. I’ll save you a seat.

Remember it’s free and for all ages.
You do have to pay for your coffee and food.

It is the season to be merry. Be safe

Strange but True

Dakotawind — 2008-11-26T12:48:00-08:00

The “ Office of President-Elect” what is that?

I never seen or heard that before - is this something new? Maybe,I missed that in Politics 101. Talk about, being pushy.

And the main media is not talking about it or thinks it is odd. I don’t remember any in-coming
President getting this kind of coverage and leeway.
I guess I’ll have to re-read the US Constitution
I must of missed that page. Anyway,

It’s Turkey Day - maybe Congress will find it in their hearts to bailout the common folks that really need it and go to bed hungry or are having their Holiday dinner in a shelter,rather then the
FATCATS flying around in their Lear jets.

Now, that’s a novel of an idea - bailout all the homeless shelters and needy organizations,the unsung heroes that help people who slip thru the cracks of society. No, Wait...That’s right, us common folks do that. Maybe in time. But, I’ve been called a dreamer before.

God bless us all - reach out, it’s Family day.
drink wisely and be safe

“One Country, One Flag”

United We Stand

Dakotawind — 2008-11-10T14:59:00-08:00

I ran across this video on you tube,"One Country, One Flag” by the Pellerano Brothers - thought it would lift everyone’s spirits for Veterans Day.

Remember, to listen to Veteran’s Hour on KFGO. You can call the station to check on times.

We are all Americans.Let’s remember that.

I’m in McCain’s camp,so lets try to work together.
It’s true, only time will tell.

But, you got to have faith. The world is watching. Let’s prove to the world, we are a Unified Nation.

Crossroads - a turning point for America

Dakotawind — 2008-11-09T15:13:00-08:00

America is at a another crossroads in her History. There have been many,The 1960’s, I feel was one, because I lived them can recall what slowly happened and eventually lead us to where we are today. That’s not to say it was all bad. We have made enormous leaps in many areas.

Medicine, Science, Electronics, so forth. But, in the realms of Human behavior, it has not even remain the same. Why was the 1950’s a simple time, answer : Respect.

We can not go back in time, this is true. But we can teach our children respect and that you must WORK for what you want. Why is it, the Me generation today is call the “Me Generation”? Everyone’s got their hand in Uncle’s Sams pocket.

Will President Obama be the “Sugar Daddy” for all or the misguided that voted for him ? Time will tell.

There are many that need help and many go to bed hungry. Lets hope they get the help they need and not the fatcats that have manipulated the systems for years. People have spoken , lets hope they are strong enough to take on the fight.

I’m just a common working stiff trying to make my way in this crazy changing world. Sometimes, I stumble , sometimes I fall, but, what’s important is getting up.

Some changes were for the good others lead the Country down roads of uncertainty and misdirection with values and policies. I am aware that that all countries must change with the world and nothing remains the same.

But; the erosion of a Country’s values and morals

to me, leads to nothing good. There are many heroes, in all generations and from all walks of life.. and are doing it everyday. The common element is,They are all cut from the same mold. The same basic values, character, morals, integrity, faith in God, loyality, others before self and other righteous principles. Thank God for them.

We are the crossroads, a turning point in our

History, it is imperative we take the right road

we must keep our eyes open and not glazed with

the rhetoric of unrealist promises. “Judged a person by his deeds not the thickness of the wallet”.

We all must be unified in the common cause the “Future of America”. God bless us all.

I am proud to be American and always will be.. I’m still amazed at the election, though not surprised.

We must keep our eyes, ears and minds open to insure we navigate down the right road. Good and Evil are the crossroads, though simplistic, they come in many disguises.

“Only Time will Tell”

Dakotawind — 2008-11-05T13:00:01-08:00

"Ask not what YOU can do for your Country, BUT

WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU”

May sound familiar but, it’s not what JFK said or meant !!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, it’s over,

I’m dumbfounded and bewildered. The people have spoken. The Me generation that is. So, now I along with many others will wait for the check from Uncle Sam (of course once the dust settles).

I’m disgusted - will chat later after I read the

US Constitution, Declaration of Independence and the Bible. Now, I got to listen to the speaker of the House. What’s her name again? I need an Drink.

I believe in America, I served her when called,.

and do it again if asked. So don’t get me wrong, President Obama is my Prsident and we all should support him. I’ve done it before. Just concern in the direction and future of our great Nation. I guess ONLY TIME WILL TELL...... Just remember:::

Thank God for men like John McCain and our

forefathers for a America like today. President

Obama and every American should kiss the the ground we walk on. Hats off to all the Great men and women. America is a GREAT Country and always will be. Why? Because we are a good force in the world.

Take care my fellow American. God Bless us all. Till next time.

As requested by a Marine. Here are the lyrics. No radio play as of yet. But, hope it will be soon.

“One Country, One Flag”
w&m VTP

(verse 1 & 2)

From the Cascades, to the Northern Plains

Alaska and the Everglades

New York City, down to New Olreans

This is my Country

We’re the Faces of America

Show your pride, when you speak of her

Tears of Soldiers, wearing Purple Hearts

Encourage others with broken hearts

(chorus)

One Country, One Flag

Flying high, United we stand

One Country, USA

I’m proud of all the Heroes

and what they gave

One Country, One flag

If you don’t like it, pack your bags

One Country, One Flag, My Country

Land of the Free

(verse 3)

We’re the Children of our History past

We fight for freedom, if our country should ask

Liberties were written in our blood

By Patriots with conviction and love

Chorus and fade
