Good morning!
I am currently in Agra, waking up on a very misty morning...
Visited the Taj Mahal yesterday and it is beautiful beyond any description.
Had an interview with a reporter from Srinagar who told me that I am the first Western artist to perform there...seems hard to believe...couldn't possibly be true, but I am so honored to be able to play in Srinagar and to lend my voice to the incredibly important issue of climate change. And if I am one of the first Western artists to perform in the region, then I hope to inspire other artists to make this journey in the future.
Just googled "Copenhagen" because I wanted to check up on the latest news... The city must be getting ready for the Climate Change Conference. Happy to see that one of the most searched phrases involving Copenhagen this morning is "Copenhagen Climate." People are obviously taking an interest as the countdown begins. I can't wait to hear news from the conference. And when the leaders of the world are meeting, we will have our concert in Kashmir.
The Mercy Corps Action Centre is great because they make it SO EASY to get involved - from small things that take only a minute, to larger commitments, like playing a concert in Kashmir! ;) The best thing about Mercy Corps' Action Centre is that the stuff they organise actually HAPPENS and helps real people in real ways. It's awesome to see.
If you would like to send a message to President Obama, asking him to support greenhouse gas emissions reductions, clean energy policies and a comprehensive aid package to help the people in the world's most devastated areas who will suffer the most as climate change continues, please go HERE.
It takes less than a minute.
Ok - time to get up and take a walk outside. Heading back to Delhi today. Performances at The Foreign Correspondents Club and the Hard Rock Cafe, as well as a live performance at the Press Corps and a radio station that plays only female artists! Cool!! Rehearsing with some Indian musicians tonight to create a very special surprise for the Hard Rock show! Also can't wait to meet the Kashmiri choir with whom I will be performing at the concert in Kashmir. Met with the leader of the choir, Wahid, and he was lovely with a stunningly beautiful voice. Can't wait to sing with him!!
More soon...and please take a moment to sign the online petition! These things do actually send a strong message, especially when tons of people participate!
:)
