ALW, not sure who you are but I hear you and agree with you. It’s a difficult world we live in where a child is at risk even while innocently having a music lesson. What Narada and his friends are doing is necessary, sadly, and they don’t even bat an eye. They see a need and step up to do what they all do so beautifully. Make music.
Also, as an aside, what I didn’t know but should have is how truly Beautiful Narada is. His spirit was alive the day we talked and I came away feeling exhilarated. Narada is like a drug for the soul. He embodies a peace we so rarely see or experience in everyday life. I was awed by that and captivated as well. He asked me why I was drawn to this effort. Part of it is personal, part of it was feeling compelled by the sheer exuberance that is almost palpable when you listen to him. Magic.
Thank you for coming and sharing. It is appreciated.

Linda, it was such a pleasure to finally get a chance to talk to him. I of course have been a fan of his music for a long time but this was the first time I got to hear from his lips what a real talent he is. I felt like he was singing for me. How many people can say that? Ok…probably a ton! HAHA But it was truly a delightful opportunity. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

What a wonderfully unguarded, inspired, exhilarating and personally moving interview.
What Narada Michael Walden and his generous musical and non-musical friends are selflessly doing for Christopher Rodriguez is immeasurable in not just a philanthropic action but in the pure action of love- the divine love of working for the good of another. Good deeds are great seeds that grow into a strong tree of life.
Thank you Sheryl Breuker…and thank you Narada.

Thank you for sharing your Narada interview. I enjoyed listening to it. I met him at a West Coast Song Writer’s Conference and was so impressed by his openness and his obvious desire to give to those around him. It is great to have a chance to learn more about him and about “Let the Sunshine In.”

Neil,

It was my pleasure. It worked out because obviously as we are all friends it was a great opportunity to quiz Narada on how that came to be. Many people know him, and our friends know who you are. This is where the connection comes into being and I love this rich history.

Of course, it was also for a great cause! That was a blessing and really the impetus for the interview. I’m sure we could have found other reasons to connect up and have a conversation, but to do it under the umbrella of helping someone, now that is really where I get to know I do even a tiny bit to help. Nothing better than knowing you are a contributing member of the world.

Thank you for the connection, and thank you for being you.

Sheryl,

This is a wonderful interview and the first one that captures my early history with Narada. In this podcast, he is electric as he recalls his retrospective of early hits.

Thanks so much for shining light on the upcoming benefit on May 25th. Service is Narada’s greatest work.

Warmly,
SNV
