Thank you from the Selwyn School.

If you are in Denton, you are probably familiar with the fire out at the Selwyn School some seven weeks ago.

I participated in a book fair at Barnes and Noble geared towards raising money/awareness in the community to help, and they have written a very nice thank you to everyon involved – Selwyn School Newsletter.

If you wish to help and donate, please visit “Donate Selwyn Growth Fund.”

The homepage for the school is here – The Selwyn School.

I was honored that they asked me to participate, and hope that they are back on track very soon.

Deacon Frizzell at The Episcopal Church of the Incarnation has asked me to play Saturday March 10 for their meditation retreat in the East Chapel. I will also be out at Incarnation on March 15th to provide music for their Silver Saints Luncheon. It is always an honor and a blessing to perform in the church in which I was raised, I look forward to being out there again!

Michael Tillman performs original song “Killing in the Name” in support of the Kony: 2012 movement.

This video has been removed.

I tend to err on the side of idealism, and as information surfaced, this issue seemed quite a bit more convoluted than at first glance.  I do not rescind my desire to see things like this continue to happen – to see awareness raised through concerned citizens sharing information.  In this case, however, it seemed like propaganda killed the message.

Make no mistake.  This is a very real issue for children and families that have been torn apart.  But, by the very nature of it, military involvement is almost sure to cause more harm than good – you end up attacking precisely the people you are trying to save.

So, until further information arises, I will not speak on the matter of Joseph Kony.  I wish those involved in the international effort to find him and bring him to justice do so, and that as many reparations can be made as possible.
