Hi there JimmPugh1046 (I'm guessing it's Jimm?). I have tabbed out this song before. Just have to find where I put it. Soon as I find it I'll send you a message with the info. Thanks for asking! I'm thrilled that you'd like to play it.

Take care,

Sheila, good to see and hear you again. I was looking at our favorites today and found this great peace song again. Will you give us permission to feature you and the song on Willie Nelson's site? If yes, would you like to write another statement and give me your links. We will link back to your APS version on the site too? Thanks for all you do for peace. All the best to you, my friend. Liz

[skhughesband]

Absolutely!! I would be HONORED to have this song featured on Willie Nelson's site. Thank you. I will work on another artist statement this evening and get it to you along with links and such.

Thanks!

-Sheila

[willienelsonpri]

Hello!Sheila~

I Think that You're really Nice human singer.

And Your voice is like a some angel's voice.

That's look like..really loving lifes and humans..

[skhughesband]

Thanks you so much heteroa. I appreciate your feedback. :)

[Maysey1]

Yes, how can we fight for peace with war, it will never happen, it just leaves permanent scars on the people and the landscape. Peace and love is the only way to handle disputes. Beautiful Sheila. Mark

[skhughesband]

Makes me think of Sting's song "Fragile," the line that goes "tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away, but something in our minds will always stay." So true! Thanks again Mark. Appreciate it.

[KirstenOpstadFan]

Sweet song!

Thank you for posting this.

5 stars and featured.

[skhughesband]

Very cool of you shas1814. Thanks a bunch!

[NinjaCoto]

It's really hard to share something when it's so personal. I think after taking some time, I'm glad that you took a chance to perform it and post it for us to check out. I think you touched on most of our concerns, especially with having relatives in or friends in the troops. very tastefully done.

[skhughesband]

Thanks a bunch Corey!

Thank you so much!

[Maysey1]

Very nice and you sincerely delivered the message. Nice finger picking and you're getting a really good sound. I tried to post a video response, but nothing happened, so maybe you can listen to my original song titled "Imagine it's You", if you get a little time. Thanks for sharing your sincere message and may we all find our way somehow through all this ugliness and evil that perpetuates itself in disguise of democracy. mark

[skhughesband]

Hi Mark,

So sorry you weren't able to post a video response. I imagine it was probably a glitch with YouTube. I've had the same thing happen to me before. Please do try it agaif if you feel up to it. I'd love to have your video response. I just tried posting one hear just to make sure the feature is working properly. Seems the function is up now.

Thanks so much for checking out "The War," and for the nice compliment. I'm going to check out "Imagine It's You," now. Peace. :)

Sorry, ya'll. YouTube isn't letting me respond personally to your messages. I did a few, and then it started weirding out on me. So, I will have to thank each of you right now in bulk. Ha, ha! Hopefully it will start working for me again. I'll come back and try again later.

Hugs,

Thanks for share alexandraxxxxxx !!!

[Djunisijevic]

I really appreciate your attitude towards the war, despite the fact that you have a brother in army.

We should never support any wars; there is never justification in interfering in other countries meters.

War can be justified only if you are defending yourself. Very nice song!

[skhughesband]

Hey ya'll. Thanks so much for all the feedback. Really appreciate it. And big thanks to all of you who are sharing it with you friends. I'll come back and respond to each of you as soon as I can. In the meantime, just wanted to say "Thanks so much!"
