PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT THIS MESSAGE FROM YOUNG SEVERN SUZUKI ADDRESSING THE UNITED NATIONS IN 1992 - DID ANYTHING REALLY CHANGE IN THE LAST DECADE AND A HALF?
I don't usually make political statements here or anywhere else, but I would vote for this young lady for President of the World tomorrow. She shares the same thoughts and visions I do:

I've just gotten the link for my first ever online radio interview. Just listen through the introduction, a man's voice and then some beautiful instrumental music, then Judyth Piazza of the Student Operated Press and myself.Here's the permanent link to my interview:
Interview on the American Perspective Radio Program
I'm a Canadian, living close to the Rocky Mountains in Calgary, Canada. They call this place both Nashville North and Hollywood North. I'm a writer, which includes songwriting, poetry, two fiction books and one 'biographical novel' published so far. One American Dreamer, about Iowa man Donald Tietz, is my latest book. Released in October 2005.
Right now I'm really excited by Canadian singer/songwriter Ross Kennedy recording a song we co-wrote, Lonnie Ratliff in Nashville producing one of my songs for his catalog, Robert Clarkson right now working on a demo of my song "Tell Myself You Never Mattered" to put on Soundclick, and Dave Beckom working with me on "Learn to Survive." A local Calgary singer, Joanna Crosse, contacted me recently and has expressed interest in recording some of my songs, and I'm very much looking forward to working with Joanna!
Bill Littleton and Lonnie et al have been very helpful in helping me try to bend myself from being a poet to being a songwriter, and I'm doing my best to get the hang of it. Also very proud to be considered a member of the 'Stardust Family' headed by Colonel Buster Doss of Nashville and Winchester, Tennessee, who very sadly died in August 2006. I still haven't been able to bring myself to participate in the Stardust message board since we lost Colonel Buster. I guess it was just too much for me to lose my Dad and Colonel Buster in the space of a few months.
I'm a Mom with a capital M, seven children ranging in age from 33 to 10 at the moment, with my sixth grandchild due on Valentine's Day 2007. Some days I think I should just dye my hair grey to suit my Gramma status, but then look at my youngest boys still at home and dye it flaming burgundy or something to keep me thinking young. :-)
I played a Saloon Girl in the new Robert Duvall mini-series released on the AMC Network on June 25th & 26th 2006 in the US, was called Daughters of Joy but they changed the name to Broken Trail. Directed by Robert Hill, starring Robert Duvall, Chris Mulkey, Thomas Hayden-Church, and Olivia Cheng. Also in the stands in a current football movie called Comeback Season, haven't seen it, dont know too much about it, just a 'featured extra.'
By now, New Year's Eve 2006, I've been in eight different movie and TV projects, and am actually a character in a German TV Movie Series called Blue Mountain. The episode I'm in is called "Legacy of Love," I'm the 'Bar Mistress.' I'm also in the audience in Ressurecting the Champ with Samuel L. Jackson, being released on New Year's Day 2007. If you look for me in that, I'm in a kind of sexy black outfit with black hair past my shoulders.
I 'Google' real well, just put Alice C. Bateman into any search engine, most of them bring up at least something! It always amazes me that every single day, somewhere in the world, there are people doing just that, looking me up in the search engines.
I'm currently working on two new book projects, one about problem gambling and addiction and one for children. Mostly in my head so far, but I plan to get a lot more actually written over the next couple of months.That's probably enough for now, once I fill in as much as I have patience for on here, you'll know all about me - and if that doesn't help, read my work! :-) Some people have actually been known to even buy my books! :-)
Wishing Love and Blessings to All,
Alice C. Bateman

WOW, I'm so thrilled to have found this golden clip on YouTube, Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner, who very sadly passed on two days ago, on October 28th 2007. This is a bit longer than my other videos here, but I laughed out loud so many times and loved every second of this. Hope y'all enjoy this as much as I do, I'm gonna watch it again right now. :-)
I was looking for a clip of Robert Duvall accepting his Emmy for Best Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries for Broken {four Emmy Awards!!} and found this clip of Mr. Duvall singing a beautiful duet with Emmy Lou Harris. I had no idea Robert Duvall sang too! Didn't find the clip I wanted, but I love this!
