This was the early 60's - People either sat in ASTONISHED SILENCE or thought - "She's CUTE for a Folk Singer" .
I met her, in the BOHEMIAN EMBASSY in Toronto. She performed for a weekend - she was the "opener" for BILL COSBY.
Funny huh - they were totally opposite ends of the spectrum. Sometimes, as she sang, TEARS WOULD STREAM down her face. My God - I just adored her - she reduced me to astonished silence. God Bless You Buffy!

To anyone still listening today, there are other Voices of the Earth who cry out for justice. Like Aziza Brahim of Western Sahara, Fatoumata Diawara from Mali: listen to and watch "Timbuktu"
Look up the now late Sufi poet Shahbano Aliani's poem: "With his shoes still on"
Oh there's more. Please make them heard whenever you can.

This song will forever remind me that staying silent about historical atrocities is a crime in itself. Only by spreading the stories of oppressed peoples can we hope to do better in the future.
