A Few Weeks ago Hugh Peche sent me a link to a Music Video . It was one of a Series of 'PLAYING FOR CHANGE" -Join The Movement". THESE ARE BRILLIANT VIDEOS . It takes Classic Rock Compositions and Insures that the Original Tune is well Respected in the Updated Rendition ; especially since every Video that is made will have the Lead Singer /Band Member/s Featured in the Production (If Still Around). The Production will Record many Musicians ALL OVER THE WORLD ; and Finally a BRILLIANT Editing Team releases the Final Version. I usually put most of the actual Video Links at the Bottom of the Issues in the "Local Video Entertainment" and "Crisis Information" Sections. In the 'PLAYING FOR A CHANGE " few Tunes I am Featuring Now & in Upcoming Issues ..I've added in stills of the Musicians and Inserted the Video Link in the Pts 2 & 3 of the Stills ..WE START OFF WITH TOM JOHNSTON (An Original Band Member of The Doobie Brothers) and a Cast of Many singing the Classic LISTEN TO THE MUSIC.

“When everything seems to be in disarray, it is a sign that something small and wonderful is trying to be born, and it needs us to be distracted so that it has room to grow” — paraphrase of a Buddhist wisdom saying.
In times like these, creativity may bloom and allow unlikely combinations to develop into something wonderful. Such is the case with our new Key West trays. During our COVID-19 shutdown, Mark had some extra time to explore creative pursuits. He also had some extra bottles of underglaze that needed to be used to free up shelf space. Click link below for the complete article

FROM ALYSON CREAN CITY OF KEY WEST COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER JUNE 2 2020

The Key West City Commission found a way to honor Key West High School’s graduating class of 2020, despite the fact that the current state of emergency interrupted plans for a normal graduation. Each student’s photo is displayed prominently in one of the city’s most-traveled intersections at Kennedy Drive and North Roosevelt Blvd. The banner, which extends along two sides of the ballfield, shows how proud this community is of these young men and women.
“From your Key West City Commission,” one panel reads, “we wish you much success and happiness as you graduate from Key West High School. Appreciate the impact you can have on our world.” Events everywhere have had a tough challenge since schools went virtual in March. But the senior class’s story is the most poignant as they are missing all the parting rituals – prom, parties, graduation – that they’ve built toward during the last 12 years.
Retiring Principal Amber Acevedo was on hand as the City’s Community Services crew installed the banner.

JUNE 3, 2020 FROM AC

With a caution to remain diligent regarding social distancing, the City of Key West is reopening more of its public facilities.
Effective immediately, all playgrounds, facility restrooms, splash pads, basketball and tennis courts, and public pools are open.
City officials urge everyone to abide by CDC guidelines for social distancing while enjoying these recreational facilities.

Human existence last for one journey; it is confined to one time........to the time we gat to live. It is up to us to decide what we do with it; after all is said and done, it is the traveler who takes the journey. The path is not plotted, it has no limits, it knows no form, it has no owner. Each of us build it as we take this short journey that is one live span.

A Message from Michael Nelson and Allison Rich at the KW Public Library
Online Book Club Fridays!! Our main focus is on New Adult Literature. "New Adult" literature are books that are Young Adult books with slightly more mature themes and content or Adult books that can be enjoyed by teens. It's great for YA readers and non-YA readers alike to explore the genre and discuss them online.

And what's this? A link to all of our selections so far for the New Adult Book Club? Say whaaaaatttt?!?!?!?

Read a book, and then pop into the event discussion on Fridays and give us your thoughts! It's ok if you've just started it or have finished your third! We want to hear from you. Let's talk about books! :)
