The Peddlers

Dear Friends,

So many hearts are broken here in our city of Christchurch New Zealand, ours included. So many funerals, so many lives lost, so many futures shattered, so many hopes crushed.

Emergency powers, Government and organisations have performed with brilliant fore and back sight. So many health issues, physical, mental, religous and hidden personal issues are at the core of our problems. God is certainly not to blame, scientists are not to blame, powers of government are not to blame. But we all seek an answer.

What we are given by the powers that be (scientists etc) is that within given times and history dictates future events. "What a load of bollocks!" as we Brits say.

This calamity has broken hearts - but not the souls of our community. As I speak the aftershocks still instill terror. My Robyn as a teacher has to set examples to her students, but the job she has is now physciateric, which she would agree is above and beyond her experise. Her school (Hagley) is due to re-open sometime next week, with one councilor to take the mantle of responsibility. Her classroom is still unsafe, the hidden dangers are still there from the September 2010 quake.

We will re-build Christchurch. Our contribution will be a drop in the ocean, but the proceeds of my new album 'BLUE GROOVE' will help if only a mere fraction. My dear friends, when you see this product offered, think of the citizens of our great community.

We are going to the first of many funerals tommorow - Friday 11th March, for our great and dear friend Murray Wood who owned and ran CTV here in Christchurch. Murray was also an awesome keyboard player and a great help in my digital "thickness" (as he called it) during the preparation of my new recording. We saw him 4 days before the tragedy at our home.

Thank you for your support. Our love to all.

Roy and Robyn

You are all in our thoughts Roy/Robyn
