The Jerusalem Blues

I
wrote and recorded these songs in Jerusalem in 2001 during the
second Intifada. I was struck by the ever present contrasts which
are rarely or never seen on our filtered TV news. The beauty and
bravery of the women of Israel and the West Bank (Palestine)
astonished me. Their ever present fear and anxiety saddened me to
my core.
Other aspects of Jerusalem and its population surprised and amazed
me while others mystified me. But there was never a day without
learning.
I still hold out hope that one day soon, people with courage and
determination will stop the violence, and allow these wonderful
men, women and children to live in peace again.
