Great gift
author: Elaine Livas
I found this very powerful. I was most moved by A Key and Ode to Mitch Snyder. The CD came quickly and was gift wrapped as I requested and made a wonderful gift. Barb cried and hugged everyone when she received it-it was meaningful to everyone in the room.

I loved Ode to Mitch Snyder, No Name Ho, and The Key!
author: Elaine of Carlisle, Pennsylvania
I especially was moved by 'Ode to Mitch Snyder'; 'The Key' and 'No Name Ho'. It is incredible to me we so callously dismiss and write off life, any life. Elaine Carlisle, Pennsylvania

You will never feel the same...
author: A'isha Rafeeq
This CD will touch the deepest inner part of your humanness and spirit, you will never be the same after listening to the depths of struggle, the reality of life, the touching voice of truth. It will shock you, move you to tears, and hopefuly social action. It will remove one from one's comfort zone, and cause them to review life, meaning, and existence. This CD is a gift of genius which everyone should hear, taste, feel, and act upon. If you feel any love in your heart, and can relate to your inner spirit, this is a must have CD. A million stars.

How long we have needed this voice, crying in the wilderness!
author: ynez reyes
How long we have needed this voice, crying in the wilderness! How deeply the distinctly meaningful prose etches it's way into one's heart. Have we forgotten?.... No! nevermore...for now we can remember the words of the poet Judy Jones, in her magnificient new spoken word CD, BONES OF THE HOMELESS,...how it FEELS to live and die in the despair of homelessness. We are not wild animals that live in the outback wilderness of civilization. Nor are others. Every citizen of this planet deserves to have a place to live, food, fuel, medical attention and a full education. Homelessness is a manmade condition! The culprit is an apathetic beaurocrasy that dominates with budgeted cold-heartness (to feed it's greed) withholding real opportunities that make true sucess possible. In our lifetimes, let us commit to choosing communication and compromise over war; and preventing the degradation of humanity with programs that INSURE support all the way with education, housing and OPPORTUNITIES for each citizen of this planet. Then we will have ittle need for penal institutions. What a nice world it could be...
