Playing for Change

Playing for Change is a multimedia movement created to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music. The idea for this project arose from a common belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. No matter whether people come from different geographic, political, economic, spiritual or ideological backgrounds, music has the universal power to transcend and unite us as one human race. And with this truth firmly fixed in our minds, we set out to share it with the world.

Somewhere I learned this prayer to St. Anthony - "Please St. Anthony, Please come around, somethings lost and must be found. ___________(name the lost item)" Well I've used this prayer countless times and usually find what I'm looking for very quickly. If you know how bad my short term memory is, you will understand, I need St. Anthony on a regular basis. Recently, we were traveling to the end of Cape Cod. We were in serious need of a bathroom. So we prayed to St. Anthony, and did find a bathroom. Carol came out of the bathroom and said, "I think the next time we pray to St. Anthony, we need to be more specific. You have to go look at that bathroom." It was beyond filthy. So lesson learned, be specific when you pray. The next time, I sent St. Anthony on a quest, was for a restaurant for lunch. This time I specified what we wanted to eat and drink and that we wanted to be able to sit outside. And, that's just what we found. Later, I remarked that we should buy a St. Anthony statue. The next day we found this statue in a great shop in P-town. We had to have him, he found us!
