Hear ”A Peaceful Solution” Reg and Caley Campbell

Reg and Caley Campbell demonstrate their creativity, kindness and generosity by not only providing an original video version of A Peaceful Solution based on Willie Nelson’s and Amy Nelson’s A Peaceful Solution but they have also sent Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute their song as an mp3 file.

Now you all have a chance to download this great song and use it as a soundtrack for your own A Peaceful Solution video to show at Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute and on any video hosting site.

You become part of A Peaceful Solution and help Peace go viral.

Reg and Caley Campbell show their commitment to peace by participating in Willie Nelson’s A Peaceful Solution project and giving the world a beautiful uplifting song about peace and freedom. These selfless actions offer an example of personal qualities one needs to possess in creating a peaceful world.

One of the many pleasures of facilitating Willie’s Peace project involves meeting some terrific creative people who dedicate their lives to creating peace. Of course the other obvious pleasure entails seeing and hearing fantastic original art creations.

Often theses creative encounters evolve into friendships and continued correspondences. So it happened with Reg who sent me an original quatrain to express his gratitude and to lift my spirits.

I feel his quatrain needs exposure because it extends the meaning of his song as he entitles the quatrain “Dominick”. Reg and Caley dedicate their version of A Peaceful Solution to Dominick, born 09/13/2007. Reg adds,

“May his world find peace.”

Dominick, the baby, represents future generations and reminds us that our actions today impact him and other children already born as well as future generations yet to come.

Reg writes, “I wrote you a little quatrain, it’s called ‘Dominick’.”

Not the stroke, of pen nor brush,
nor the hand on crimson blush.
Is creation so unique, humbling and meek.
As the baby’s tenderest touch!

We have a responsibility to assure that the children have a future worth living.

Reg and Caley’s A Peaceful Solution topical and narrative theme of peace reminds me of a folk song . At the same time their song possesses the elements of a narrative story when they sing of the transformation to a peaceful solution. This artistic move suggests a ballad.

Reg and Caley’s presentation has so much reverence their song borders on a hymn as the rich imagery of the dove of peace and the olive leaf conjures up spiritual feelings and associations.

The bluegrass music played with two acoustic instruments and Caley’s superb picking provide the cohesiveness necessary to fuse the multifaceted styles into one powerful rendition of A Peaceful Solution.

Thank you Reg and Caley Campbell for sharing your heart and soul with the world.

Please make it a point to check out Reg and Caley’s YouTube channel to hear lots of excellent music.

* * * * * Reg’s Artist Statement * * * * *

Reg Campbell and wife Brenda have been married 25 years, and have 3 sons, Caley, Tyler and Jason. We reside in Callander Ontario, Canada. The “gateway” to northern Ontario!

I’ve been interested in Peace since back in the sixties, Vietnam, and other conflicts brought the struggle for Peace to my attention. I was influenced first by music, and more so the lyrics. I have always been an avid reader, and admired the great men who advocated Peace.

Early musical influence, and my love of music put me on the Peaceful path, and the great authors and orators fortified my strong faith and belief in Peace. Frankly, I think humanity has had enough of war and we need to find a new, peaceful beginning.

I don’t feel compelled to go into the reasoning behind this particular war; they’re simply is none. Based on lies and greed, as are all conflicts, the sooner it is over, the better. My strong belief in God, truth, compassion, and equality motivate me to strive for Peace, and the deceit, destruction, death, and suffering caused by war, motivates me to write.

More for my sanity, and not by choice!

These strong beliefs go beyond mans inhumanity to man, I have grave concern towards mans wanton destruction of the planet. We, collectively, must reach an age of enlightenment to solve these man made issues.

We must have change!

Change in our priorities and those of our elected people. We must face these problematic realities. We must educate ourselves, our children, and the world at large.

With problems such as racism, poverty, hunger, disease, natural disasters, global warming, and environmental catastrophes…to name but a few,

Peace is the least we can do, and only a beginning!

 I truly appreciate what Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute, and the good people there, are doing toward the advancement of Peace, and a Peaceful solution.

Thank You for offering Caley and I, as well as all the other great artists, an opportunity to participate in this most worthy project.

Thank you Willie and Amy for writing this beautiful song and sharing it with so many.

Thank you Liz, for all your help and support, and for being so very gracious…

Reg and Caley
