4. That's the one Person 2713

Thanks for adding that pertinent information. I wasn't aware of the fact that it would be carried on so many different channels and also iHeartMedia radio stations plus AOL.com. Great job of filling in the details, I'm in your debt.

5. I am stuck somewhere (waiting ) that night but the link means I can watch it online when it airs

No tv or radio needed and I will just be waiting (work) so I will kick to others too wherever they be at that time.

Been good so far?

12. Hello Person 2713

I watched it at a friends house, so I wasn't able to be on line at the time. I thought it was really good as a concert, great singers all. I kind of wish they had talked a bit more though.

[Person 2713]

13. My thought too but it was uplifting. Shined a light a liitle maybe people saw this and listened . I already liked songs like Rise Up

and Pharrell with Freedom was good but yes more needed to be said . Have a goodnight and thank you for posting the concert here. It was not well publicized & I would have never known or told others!!
Peace

15. You're Welcome

I'm happy you had the opportunity to enjoy the show and to tell others about it. It's too bad programs like this one are not publicized enough. When I find out about a program that should be interesting to the entire populace, that's usually the way it is, I usually have to try to let people know about them, and then follow up to make sure they watch. Enjoy your day Person 2713 and backatcha....PEACE!

8. This is fantastic!

Raising funds for those organizations is a most positive venture. It's good to be alive to see real positive, life-affirming joy thru music addressing the terror.

9. My sentiments exactly

Kind of Blue, hope you will take the time to watch, and maybe even come on line to discuss either during the concert or afterward.
