Social Justice Sings posted on July 9, 2009
Music for social justice on Internet radio!
The idea is not new; music for change, social justice, equality, mercy and hope has been expressed musically since people had feelings they turned into rhythm and melody with voices and what ever else was around to tap out a beat on. Perhaps you are a Pete Seeger fan, or sang along with Peter Paul and Mary, Joan Baez or Buffy Sainte-Marie in the 1960’s. Bernice Johnson Reagon in the 1970’s wtih civil rights for all people, Michael Jackson in the 1980’s with We Are The World and many others before and after.
I hope music has helped you find your voice for faith and justice through the years; now it might help your children.
Music
Some of the newest tunes include voices and instruments from all over the planet 
from: Playing For Change, Keb Mo singing about being a Better Man, lots of folks singing on Stand By Me, and Love Rescue Me with a choir of youth in Northern Ireland to help the generations of Protestants and Catholics make music, not destruction. We hope you like it because it sure seems like a really good idea.
Send us your suggestions of tunes you would like your kids to hear on CGR, we will do our best to always play them. Thanks to Sue, mother and grandmother, who sent in the Playing For Change, suggestion.
Blessings for the common good,
Pastor Robin
