David Huber's Song of the Soul |
Excellent ideaI listened to the Song of the Soul, David Huber's selections. Excellent idea. I've always listened to music as essential to my spiritual journey. His selections by Zappa, Floyd, and Mahler were all particular favorites for me too. I remember listening to Zappa's 'outside now' late at night in a converted shed in the vines of Tuscany. and then wandering out past the little monastery to the cemetary. Floyd's 'pigs' was almost the soundtrack to my retreats in my tent at the foot of the Alps where they plunge into the mediterranean. Again. late at night, sitting on a massive boulder, the Alps behind, the Med below. Kevin | Kevin from Madison (not verified) | |

Our oranization believesOur oranization believes informed grassroots communities empower change. The diverse messages of Northern Spirit Radio inform and nourish such quests both globally and locally. Today's Democracy Now broadcast from the World AIDS conference in Canada carried voices from Africa and the Caribbean to inform my work in National Peace Foundation's Youth Addiction/HIV project in Russia. Here in Wisconsin's Chippewa Valley, an Israeli/Palestinian Dialogue of Jews, Muslims and Christians has expanded our shared understanding of routes to a just peace and resolution of that root conflict. Your archival record of Sami Rasouli [founder of Muslim Peacemaker Teams-3/19/06-SPIRIT IN ACTION]describes reconstruction work in Fallujah inspired by Christian Peacemaker Teams in Iraq from the U.S. (It echoes our group's email exchange today regretting that Iran rather than the U.S. reaps credit in Lebanon for reconstruction, as if lessons of the U.S. Marshall Plan in Europe have been forgotten.) Thank you for the resources of Northern Spirit Radio that build community by sharing current realities both through our local station and your internet reach around the world. | Sarah Harder, … (not verified) | |
| Hi Mark, Thank you forHi Mark, Thank you for bringing these radio programs to the world! I was just listening to Michelle Balas on your Spirit in Action program and found the interview very informative and the music inspirational. I have enjoyed Song of the Soul for several months now and am always delighted at the diversity of your speakers and the obvious respect with which you treat your guests. I hope you will continue to provide this programming for a long time to come. | Ruth Rosauer (not verified) | ||

Enjoyed listeningI could (and will) spend several evenings listening to your shows Mark. Your ability to get people to speak their minds is very good. I especially liked the interviews with Bethany Jacobson, Gaylord Oppegard, Wix Covey - these people and many others on your list are people who I've gotten to know very recently. Learning about their lives, activism and their convictions brings them even closer in my life and I made discoveries that without your show I likely would never have discovered. Keep up the good work. Your efforts are appreciated. Please keep it up as I know this must be hard work. Peace, -saw- | Steve Wagener (not verified) | |
| Reading that last comment ofReading that last comment of mine over, I didn't say enough about the interview with Ina Mae. She and Steve Gaskin provided a model for living from 1966 forward to today, starting with Steven's Monday Night Class in San Francisco and continuing through all of her good work with home birthing in her community as well as the lights she lit across the world with her book on the subject. Your interview was wonderful in drawing that out. | Frank Paynter,… (not verified) | ||
