Share 40 Acres with a friend :-)

Posted by Trudi Brown on November 07, 2012. 0 Comments

I wanted to share part of a note I received this morning with you:

"...Thanks for accepting my friend request, Gary. I sent you a friend request, last night (Election night), after a friend posted that he didn't care who won as long as he got his 40 Acres and a Mule. So, I made sure he received what he asked for...by sharing your video, “40 Acres and a Mule”. He really dug it, too!..."

You can listen to the song for yourself here:  http://youtu.be/0iBaMen8gnE

 Last night we elected President Barack Obama for a second term as our Commander in Chief in the USA.  I just wanted to say thank you to all my fellow citizens for letting their voices be heard - YOU VOTED - it doesn't matter who you voted for, what matters is that you participated in our democratic system.  Thank you for utilizing the power that so many people have fought and died for you to have - that is POWERFUL!!!

Congratulations President Obama, congratulations Vice President Biden, congratulations America!

Here's a link to the article on their site:  http://www.rockoveramerica.com/Cdreview%26id=694

Here's the review (I'd love to hear your thoughts too, either about the review, or your take on the CD):
