I just finished writing "Mother Earth Blues," a mini-musical for kids (of all ages), that fits into a Sunday worship service (about 25 minutes in length), and raises awareness of the plight of the rainforest and the people who live there. This piece is based on research into such tribes as the Myangma in the rainforests of NIcaragua and also draws upon my recent visit to tribal rural forest people in India. On that trip, during a ceremony, myself and several others presented a land title (which had been issued by the Indian government) to a tribal person. This work is slated to be presented in Colorado in May, and there are possibilities also of it being presented in other parts of the U.S. and Canada. I love working on these "shows." This is my sixth? one, I have lost count.
