"What Can We Do Now"

We are in an age, when most of us are more concerned about our little lives, that everyday slips by without too much concern for what is happening, what has happened, or does it matter !!!

Where has all the camaraderie gone, more and more people are staying in watching TV, (What on earth is on anyway, that's worth watching ?).

Where can one go to meet people anymore ? Go down the pub !!! they still have the atmosphere that makes us feel good and part of the scene, most have good food, good selection of ale's, beer, wine and spirits, and we can meet new and interesting friends.

This is a picture of the Merlin pub in a wonderful little village in England, Chalfont St. Giles, I am trying to help save the Great British pubs from closing down.

I have teemed up with Inez Ward, CEO of Justice for Licensees & founder of Pub Week.

Inez has been battling to bring to everyone's attention the plight of the great British pub. Inez asked if I would write and record a song to help, which I along with my studio engineer / co-writer Tim Bushong (Lovewar & The Channelsurfers) did so.

The song "What Can We Do Now" is available on CD Baby & I-Tunes, 79p in U.K. and .99c here in the U.S. not only are landlords and pub licensees losing their homes, but they are also losing their livelihoods, and we are losing a heritage that should be around forever.

Wether you are a musician, tourist, local, who ever, we are all losing out.

More than 40,000 pubs have closed in the U.K. which is disturbing, if it can happen in the U.K. it can happen any where.

As far as the entertainment industry is concerned, 40,000 equates to more than 40,000,000 (Fourty Million), in lost revenue and royalties for ASCAP, SESAC, PRS, MCPS, BMI, and song writers / musicians.

Less venues for musicians / artists / bands to play, yet not too much is heard about it, not too much is done about it, but be assured when it is too late, everyone will be whining and wondering what on earth happened, IT WILL BE TOO LATE !!!
