- Earthday.fm–web radio for the web of life–now playing...
Musicians United to Sustain the Environment (MUSE) has launched Earthday.fm, an internet radio station that draws from a playlist of more than 5,000 songs spanning six decades and many genres. The station, now on the air (for free), features music from around the world with environmental, empowerment, and indigenous lyrics–by some of the greatest storytellers of our time.
Traci Hickson, one of Earthday.fm's founders, writes: "As a young person growing up in rural West Virginia, a song by Walkin' Jim Stoltz, "Forever Wild," moved me to tears--I was not alone my respect for all of life. My friends and I began a journey to find more of this music and share it. We spent hours combing through old vinyl record warehouses and the libraries of community radio stations around the world. Along the way, we found hundreds of musicians from all walks of life, who share a message--we are a part of the web of life. We are happy to share these songs in their full diversity."
Tune in at Earthday.fm.

We heard not long ago form Joel Montes Garza, who wanted to share with us his painting of Daniel, for which he used the website photo on the bio page as a model. We thought it was terrific and want to share it with you. Here's what he said about himself and the painting:
"I'm just an amateur self-taught painter from Mexico. I don't consider myself an artist since I enjoy painting just like some people enjoy solving jigsaw puzzles. That's why I have no problem making copies of my favorite famous paintings most of the time instead of creating my own. I have a few paintings of mine but only Mr. Quinn's books and ideas have really inspired me to strive using all I know to create this homage portrait. Hopefully I'll continue improving in order to share his vision to others not only thru art but in anyway I can."
You can see the result at DQ portrait. From there you can get to Garza's other sites and see what else he does.
