3 universe 4
Welcome once more, friends, supporters, curiosity-seekers, and searchers.
While dis-heartened with the status of current national and global events,
I am heartened by the gracious and sane people in this world going out of their way to help others on local scales, and fortunately we hear about them sprinkled in here and there with all the other "loud" noise.
What I focus on expands.

One fruit of this new paradigm is a new burst of creativity including new songs and new explorations into new modes of communication. Kindly take a look at a new video of a new tune that an old friend of mine Grant Baldwin and I recently co-wrote through the cyber-waves....feels appropriate for Earth Day week and beyond.
When the Universe is Ready

I don't mind telling you my lifelong appreciation for John Prine informs the approach and style of this new song. He was a true original, and for a glimpse into the mind and life of an icon, check this out:

My 3rd online concert is scheduled on on Facebook Live once more
Thursday April 30th from 7 - 8:30 PM EST
(just go to my Facebook page then)

This time a portion of your extremely optional donations will go to the
Massachusetts United Way COVID-19 Family Support Fund
to which I was able to donate a live home-made video of
"We Belong Together" written 13 years ago with 92-third graders in
New Jersey! You can see many great artists and hear their fine songs at
Quarantunes

Donation links for the concert and cause:
PayPal
Venmo: @David-Roth-122
As before, I welcome hearing from you before, during, and after.




And (almost) lastly, I'm trying to get networking going
in a couple other places
1) Facebook music page ~ David Roth Music
2) You Tube channel
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkZHuR1LlEVIj3pXUiPa-Og
If you'd consider joining either or both, that's some free help you can supply and will inspire me to post more in both places. Thanks so much.

And finally a quick shout out to my young buddies David and Paul Rigano - I've known them all their lives through their parents Ron and Rita from my years in New York City (the 1980's) and these two guys have made something special, and won the Rave contest with the most views...it's sharp, sophisticated, brilliant, and I am proud to have been in the chorus and played guitar in the orchestra. Take a look!
Face to Face
And going forward, MASKS!
Take good care out there.
