RHODE ISLAND’S BILLY GILMAN ALL GROWN-UP AND BACK SINGING

A fun post for me to do. I am working on my event for the Dream for Darfur campaign to take place in Providence, Rhode Island. www.dreamfordarfur.org CARRY THE TORCH FOR DARFUR will happen October 27, Saturday, 2007 starting near Waterplace Park and marking Fidelity Investment Company, as Mia Farrow put it, the underwriter for the Darfur genocide. Our event will end at the Rhode Island State Capital building. I would love to have music as well as speakers, but I first have to make sure we will have the capacity to have electricity. So I was thinking of musicians from Rhode Island. And tonight I sat down at my piano and pulled out a song that I did years ago with my children’s choir, “One Voice” a song made popular by Rhode Island’s young singer, Billy Gilman from Hope Valley. I changed most of the verses’ lyrics to fit the Darfur genocide’s situation. Then I went to my favorite place on the internet, Youtube and listened to song after song of Billy Gilman, following that with a trip to www.billygilman.com

He is 19 years old now. And to my ear, his voice is better, and he certainly is man-cute now, and not boy-cute. Some comments on youtube wanted him to stay 11 years old forever, but Billy Gilman has decided to grow up and go with that plan, carrying on his passion for a music career. I would love to invite Billy to our Providence event. We’ll see how it goes asking for donated generators and all the necessary equipment.

In the meantime, I’ll work on a plan to do the Darfur lyrics to “One Voice”...I include the videos below of Billy. Seems like we ought to call him Bill, now, but I guess he chooses Billy. Lots of talent and a sweet, genuine, young man.

STOPPING GENOCIDE IS A RESPONSITILITY FOR ALL OF US

Genocide flourishes when there is no accountability.
