I really tried to pull something together for this week. I know it's early in a project like this, and that's an important time to set a rhythm, keep things moving.
On the 24th, Putin ordered an invasion and siege, with the intent of taking control of, Ukraine.
This is a labor of love, not a labor of me getting paid and keeping food on the table. So with extra things happening, I had to prioritize my paid work over this. And I really am sorry about that. I know that a lot of folks could probably use something a little lighter to focus on right now. But that's not me. You should probably have gotten the picture by now: my love for country music stems, in large part, from the dark, seedy underbelly of it. And nobody needs that.
I thought about doing protest songs, war songs, songs about peace...none of it felt right.
What does feel right? If you click HERE or on the sunflowers up above, you'll be taken to the donations page for Voices of Children, a Ukrainian charity devoted to providing children with emotional and psychological support during times of strife like this. You don't have to donate, and you don't have to donate to this if you have another charity you think would be better served by your money. But this is where my money is going.
I don't know if anything more needs to be said, but I stand with the Ukrainian people in as much as I'm capable to do so, an ocean away. I've told you all that I'm an unabashed leftist from day one on this project. I don't care for fascism. I don't like bullies. I don't support this Russian effort to take control of a free nation.
I will be making this post up at a later date. I'm not going to short this project on content.
But just this week? I think there might be something a little more important.
