    Thanks sizemik! Can you tell me how to post videos like that?

    I apologise if my choice it a bit predictable!

    Also, do you write/perform music yourself? I do. Maybe we could put together a JWN compilation album of various people's original songs? Just another one of my crazy ideas!

    My sons do . . . their band has a lot of original stuff . . . some on youtube. There are quite a few musicians of various kinds here . . . with stuff on youtube. That's not a bad idea. If someone is savvy enough to work out a download and burn for us . . . or whatever

    To embed . . .

    I highlight and copy the string directly from the youtube address bar on the browser. and paste directly into here. But it may not be the only way.

    EG here's the full link for embedding . . .

    If you were to copy and past this string directly from here into your text box and then add a space, it would activate the link and embed.

    Hi Sizemik

    Thanks for the tips! I will give the compilation album a little more thought. For example, there would need to be a degree of quality control without offending contributors. Maybe we would need an X-factor style audition. Who wants to be Simon Cowell?!

    Cheers,

    Cedars

    As a kid I listened to this song not even realizing it's later impact on my life.

    Final Verses:

    You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
    If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
    You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
    I will choose a path that's clear-
    I will choose Free Will.

    Each of us-
    A cell of awareness-
    Imperfect and incomplete.
    Genetic blends
    With uncertain ends
    On a fortune hunt that's far too fleet.

    9:30 into the recording:
    If I gave you everything that I own and asked for nothing in return
    Would you do the same for me as I would for you
    Or take me for a ride and strip me of everything including my pride?
    But spirit is something that no one destroys
