[MusicMonsterW]

@EPI6fingers Thank you very much for your comments!

[TheGoodChild12]

did Bob Geldof ever sing this song? I can only find the Band Aid/Bono versions on youtube...

[MusicMonsterW]

@TheGoodChild12 He may have performed the song once in a while at some benefits but on the recording, he did not perform, I believe. Actually, he claims he doesn't like this song.

[PeterLisboa66]

Hi Ronin, it`s time to listen to this again. Real GREAT work!!! Merry christmas, Peter!

[MusicMonsterW]

@PeterLisboa66 Thanks for listening again, Peter! Have a great Christmas!

[nucknfuts1961]

I love this so much I will post it on my facebook every year. I love Mim and the Minions, one of them happens to be my grand daughter that Audra and Levi adopted. Everyone around the world need's to see this. I wish it could be played on National TV all of the stories you see on tv are so depressing babies getting killed and thrown in the trash, mother's killing their children. This is what the world needs to see. Love and Hope and peace. Thanks from the depths of my heart for this video.

[MusicMonsterW]

@nucknfuts1961 Thanks so much for your comments! It's good to know that the work all of us did on this video is so appreciated! :-)

[mkcustodio]

What a beautiful collaboration. The message is simple. If only the solution was such. Wishing everyone who worked on this much success and a very merry Christmas.

[MusicMonsterW]

@mkcustodio Thank you for you kind comments!! I completely agree. Message is simple, solution isn't. Hopefully, what we do can provide a little bit of motivation for those who are brilliant and caring enough to help with a solution.

[SailQwest]

Ronin, this is so beautiful! Thanks so much for letting us be a part of this amazing collaboration!

[MusicMonsterW]

@SailQwest Thanks, Kim and Rich!! You're more than welcome. Glad your trip went well!!

[TheKaos007]

I understand why Bob hates the song and has anyone checked out whats going on in that part of the world?

Nothing has changed and all that money we donated where did it go?

A sucker is born every minute....P T Barnum

[MusicMonsterW]

@TheKaos007 Yes, I agree with PT. Hello, sucker. Uh, I think you missed the whole point. We used this song as a simple message of harmony and peace, that's it. I don't think anyone is dumb enough to not realize that problems still exist in many regions of the world. I think people that look for intellectualism in pop songs and let a certain of amount limited intellectual snobbery outweigh messages of goodwill are people I would rather not know.

[MusicMonsterW]

@MusicMonsterW To add to this, they are neither intelligent or caring and they are the kind of people that add to the misery of the world. As PT would say, this way to the egress. (google it, Fool!)

[UncleElvis]

@TheKaos007 Um... "That part of the world"? Do you mean Ethiopia? That's what the song and charity was specifically aimed at. "Nothing has changed"? Seriously? Your assertion is that nothing has changed since 1985? Really? That's completely untrue. ESPECIALLY in Ethiopia. Please, do a LITTLE bit of research before you post ignorance like this.

[UncleElvis]

@TheKaos007 or are you referring to Africa as a whole when you say "that part of the world"? Are you referring to an entire continent, almost 4 times the size of the continental United States, of which only ONE country, with a specific problem (famine... which has gone away) was the subject of the charity.

Please. Explain to us, since you felt the need to post this negativity on what is obviously something that makes people feel good, what did you mean?

[Heartstrings2009]

Quite a project and what a result! This is some Christmas card! Thanks Ronin and everybody else involved. Merry Christmas to all of you, too!

[MusicMonsterW]

@Heartstrings2009 Thanks so much!!

[JtothaMueller]

Soo many beautiful ukulele sounds and musicians in this collab. This is GREAT! I see alot of familiar faces in the video....Seeso is one of the main reasons why I started to play the uke (Just a fun fact)

This was a wonderful production, now I'm even more ready for Christmas :]

~Joe

[MusicMonsterW]

@JtothaMueller Thanks, Joe!! It was great fun to do. I'm so glad Seeso was part of the team!!

[UKISOCIETY]

Awesome editing, Ronin!! But two things puzzle me: Colmes' eyewear and Zoe's hair! :)

Diana's contribution made it soar. Well done, singdanceetc!

[MusicMonsterW]

@UKISOCIETY Thanks, Alan!! I agree, Diana's contribution took us to whole new level. As for Colin and Zoe, I'm not sure that I'm authorized to speak for them. I will say this though. Colin's eyeglasses are a chick magnet. I have seen them in action.

[colmes69]

@UKISOCIETY Those are my cougar catchers.

[singdancenloveit]

@UKISOCIETY lol thanks ukiso-on-and-so-forth.

I happen to be a fan of colmes' glasses. I have a pair just like em! Rock on Colmes!

[russbuss415]

[MusicMonsterW]

@buddhUU Thank you! It was a great bunch of performers to work with.

[fingerbun1]

Hey could you hook something up so that people who like the clip could donate to "feeding the world" type charities via paypal? Just a crazy thought.

[MusicMonsterW]

@fingerbun1 I suppose if we put it up on i-Tunes and donated the proceeds? I don't know. you have a great idea but I"m not sure how to do it.

[colmes69]

Hmm I wonder who the 3 were who didn't like this vid. hmmmmmm, oh well.

ronin, this is a masterpiece. There's not a lot of people who could have pulled something like this off. I can't wait til your next one.

[MusicMonsterW]

@colmes69 Thanks, Colin!! There's a next one??!! You don't mean one this size, do you?

[Tunique55]

Really enjoyed this. So nice to see so many in this collaboration and the way it was put together is awesome.

[MusicMonsterW]

@Tunique55 Thank you. It was pleasure working on this. A lot of work but a pleasure.

[DaneUni]

Awesome job guys, I hate Christmas songs, but I loved this.
