Friends, Family, Co-conspirators, and Earthlings!!

Hope you're all well in this season of up and down and who knows what's going on on Planet Earth. Will the aliens make themselves known with peaceful intentions or will war-torn countries continue to rip themselves apart? Anyway with all that is going on in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Latin America, etc. etc. I decided to make a fresh video for Open Hearts Open Minds, a song I released last year, the title track of our Open Hearts Open Minds album.

I got the idea for the phrase Open Hearts Open Minds one day listening to a radio interview with a US Diplomat on Canadian radio who was talking about efforts to win over hearts and minds somewhere on Earth and thought, “Open Hearts Open Minds is really my theme!”

This video includes imagery that is apart from Earth, partially in keeping with my recent Aliens-oriented imagery but also to provide a broader perspective. “Thatpalebluedotlookssofaraway!”
