Also....at long last I'm happy to say that the "PeaceJam" guitars are going to be made available in the world! To find out all about Peacejam you can check out the backstory on the Huffington Post!

And then...to find out all about the story on the Peacejam guitars...look HERE

So now it's been several years since the 10 Year Anniversary and the guitars have been "hibernating" in a lovely climate controlled storage space in Denver. Just waiting for the right situation to come along for them to be auctioned.

In September I was singing at a Peace Summit in Vancouver which was a gathering of many of the Nobels along with the Dalai Lama and people from all over the world. Bob Geldof was also in town. Here I am pictured with Michael McDonald (The Doobee Brothers) and Paul Rogers (Bad Company) and Bob, who won a Humanitarian Award for his work with the African Children's Choir.

And here are some shots of the performance with the African Children's choir....it was such fun!

I also was really thrilled to meet Sarah McLaughlin at one of the dinners I attended. Mike McDonald and I sang "Peace" which is a song we wrote some years back...and I've just recorded for my new record. Sarah was kind enough to come up and sing a song as well....she sang "Angel"....one of my favorites...and asked me to sing harmonies!! That was incredible fun!

And here are some of the gorgeous children from the choir!!

Anyway....during one of the luncheons associated with the Peace Summit, I was sitting next to Lynn Twist--the author of the book "The Soul Of Money". I was telling Lynn about the Peacejam guitars and my wanting to find some way to maximize their auctioning so that the most money could be made for Peacejam...Lynn turned to me and said, "You should go to the next table and introduce yourself to Pierre...he started Ebay! With that I approached the founder of Ebay, Pierre Omidy! He was the perfect connection I was seeking for this situation.

The rest has been easy...Pierre told me about a special program they have at Ebay for not-for-profit organizations. So all the introductions have been made and the guitars will be put up on Ebay for auction Dec 7- 17th starting at 4PM (PST)!!

So... BE ON THE LOOKOUT!!

In other news I just finished a great fun show in Battle Creek Michigan for the Foodbank. Bob Randels and all the good folks of Battle Creek couldn't have been more wonderful! We had a full house and the audience was so great...it was also really special to have the whole band together again for the gig!
