History of this Event:

We recorded this song live at ArtSpring, a two hundred and thirty seat theatre on Saltspring Island, BC, on Canada's westcoast, as a follow-up to an amassed, thousand voice choir that assembled this past October 24th under the organizational umbrella of local advocacy group PeaceWorks, at Saltspring's GISS (Gulf Islands Secondary School) gym. What you'll hear is an iteration of the song originally sung on the UN's 59th birthday. The choirs who congregated and sang on the 24th of October last didn't get a unified feeling about the performance, as we were scattered about the gym in clumps, and so we reconvened at ArtSpring on February 20th of 2005, paid a toonie each, and did a few takes of this song. Marv Coulthart gave us the lighting we needed, I led a great horde of vocalizers, ranging from 4 to 84 in ages, through the song whilst flailing appropriately on a 1952 Martin D-28 six string guitar, strung with John Pearse mediums, and Dave Davies recorded us on an Adat through a whack of AKG 1000-Cs and one Audio Technica 4050 for my voice.
