Carver's Sight or is that Site: Fun Surprise and Mimi's Peace movement

I met a friend for lunch downtown today and imagine my surprise when I discovered that James Taylor was performing at an Obama rally around the corner from where we ate. I told my friend that I was going to slip behind the press and get a shot before he started singing but I'd move away from her so as not to be embarrassing. Not only wasn't she embarrassed she tapped me on the shoulder and pointed out a better place to get a clear shot. It worked out great as I finished my paparazzi moment in time to put up my camera and move back to where we could just listen. JT sounded great. In really good voice.

As an Obama supporter and someone who likes James Taylor's music it was a fun way to end a fun lunch. On another topic, Mimi the Queen of Blog Blast for Peace has decided to move the movement along by spreading the word via the internet tag system. What a great cause to see continue to move and grow. Since I don't tag individuals, if you read my blog and want to joing Blogblast for Peace, simply read below and consider yourself tagged by me.

Here are the rules and the story.

(1) Copy this into a post (2) ADD YOUR NAME to the bottom of the tag list
(3) Tag at as many people as you'd like.

The Peace Globe project began in the fall of 2006 with a simple post from one blog, Mimi Writes. The post ignited a flame in the blogosphere. The flame became a passion. The passion became a movement. It amazingly traveled from blog to blog to blog across the globe. Bloggers wrote passionate articles on what peace means to them, along with the promise of three Latin words scribbled on a globe - Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace) - branded with the integrity of their names or blog names. It was positively inspiring to watch. And it began to happen all over the world - from Singapore to China to Afghanistan to Brooklyn.

It was simple. And powerful.

In less than three weeks bloggers from all across the globe will blog for peace.
We will speak with one voice. One subject. One day.
Won't you join us?

Oh, I must organize my globe for Mimi's Peace movement. I'm not particularly good at doing these things and will have to remember how I did it last year.; October 22, 2008 at 7:23 PM
Mimi Lenox said...: I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.
This afternoon I had a compelling urge to let my students hear his live version of "The Water Is Wide" and they loved it.....and here I am mentioned in the same post as the great James Taylor (you saw him LIVE??!! I am so jealous) on the same day. That's a little spooky.

Wonder if he has a blog and wants as peace globe...hmmm....just a thought!

Mojo said...: I was about to be upset with you for not passing this along to me, but then I noticed the date... I was out of town anyway.

Where was this? Looks like Moore Square maybe? Or possibly the grounds of the Capitol Building...; October 23, 2008 at 9:40 PM
Christy Woolum said...: Wow! James Taylor just hanging out singing at a rally. He is my absolute favorite and I swear that his voice is getting better and better. What a outstanding after lunch treat!; October 24, 2008 at 12:16 AM
Theresa said...: So glad to hear that James Taylor is in good voice, since most of the older singers I have gone to see have lost some of their voices.

Love JT- I saw him about 15 years ago at Hershey Park.
