Paul - thank you for such a fine effort on behalf of humanity. Certainly, music is a great doorway to peace, and I share your empathy for the children and loss of life from war. About 5 years ago I was invited to speak at a water gathering amongst religious leaders and scientists in the Middle East - and just like ululele's water too makes it own music in the interest of peace.

[paulmooreil]

Thanks William water is indeed a precious resource here ..your comment gave me the idea to have the sound of water and ukuleles in my next recording! If you ever come over to Israel again Look me up. Paul.

Great video! Good to see what you're doing there - Much better than just hearing about it.

[paulmooreil]

I play ukulele and I like the video but you have to remember that in islam music is not allowed. They even have a fatwa against music. I think it is nice that people want peace thru music but when it comes to islam it is not going to happen. Not all muslims want sharia law but they do not really have a choice about it. I wish you luck in what you are doing. Just don't get your hopes up to high..Uke on.
