“Was not Jesus an extremist for love — ‘Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, pray for them that despitefully use you.’ Was not Amos an extremist for justice — ‘Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.’”
Martin Luther King Jr.
Letter from Birmingham Jail (1963)
I’ve never been able to successfully figure out how to put embedded Viemo videos on this blog…until today. (What can I say? I’m a slow learner.) So here’s a little bonus on Martin Luther King Day—part of a video I had an opportunity to work on a couple of years ago with artist Gary Kelley, conductor Jason Weinberger, and the Waterloo—Cedar Falls Symphony.
(If video doesn’t appear in your browser click the link for Three Black Kings, MLK.)
It may not be a big Hollywood production, but to be able to work on a production with a talented group of people on a multi-media event (large screen projection and a live symphony orchestra)—that gets a triple standing ovation from more than 1,000 people— makes for one rewarding experience.
