This past year, several talented musical artists have chosen to help dolphins and whales being held captive. Many have forgone lucrative show offers, asked that their music not be played at venues, like Seaworld, or have pledged not to perform where these majestic beings are held unnaturally. They have graciously given time and their voices to increase awareness of this form, of what was previously thought of as entertainment, but is now considered abusive by many with lethal consequences.
As a way of showing our appreciation, I propose we start Download Friday. Each Friday, we download a song (album) from itunes of the chosen performer of the week. With hope, this might encourage those who have not yet become aware of the substantiating scientific research that cetacean captivity is inhumane, to learn more and join their fellow artisans. Music has a way of bringing us together.
So, here’s the schedule. Please share and start downloading some great tunes!
