Here is a collaboration between US Defense and NZ Defence Forces of a Classic NZ Maori waiata " Tūtira mai ngā iwi"

https://youtu.be/zUuOnl4f0rE

New Zealand’s lockdown has had all sorts of unexpected results - but one of the more surprising is a musical partnership between the New Zealand and United States armed forces.

Performers from the navy, army and airforce bands have together produced a version of the waiata Tūtira mai ngā iwi and posted it to YouTube.

The song’s composer was Wiremu Te Tau Huata who was a New Zealand military chaplain to the 28th Maori Battalion. His whānau gave permission for the waiata to be used.

One of the drivers of the project was Staff Sergeant Bryan Andrews of the US Air Force Band of the Pacific.

He told Morning Report that his band usually travel all over the Pacific performing for various audiences. They were supposed to send a team to New Zealand in April but the trip was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Think as one
Act as one
All of us, all of us

All of us, All of us!!

I found this charming and relaxing. Out like a light—sometimes you just a comforting voice. @Windthin this might be your jam too.

Wow. This is neat. And yes, I love unusual and different music and the many ways it can be used. I find with so much time on my hands I am adding to my musical library again, though I need to do some sorting.

This caught my eye…and rings true.

Many find great relief being outdoors, hanging with sweet pets etc…but the level of anxiety and exhausting when might the present day confined centered life change? And how certain we can think ‘normal’ again.

The essay at the end goes for the absurd in some places but worth a read…

…hunt down joy was one method!!

I was re-listening to this the other day and thought I’d share - they made this mix-song a few months into drumpf’s first year in office, and it’s helping me get thru these super special crazy weeks as the tension rises.

Glad you were able to get a much better diagnosis (than imagined) and were able to walk out essentially well, and just needing aspirin. In this scary time, that is great news.

Thanks for the tips…I had thought about headbands yesterday too.

Where can find info on this…?

Nice job…and it looks like you have that recipe down. Thanks for posting recipe.

I was learning these past few weeks about baking bread, and looks like I can do this one too. Free 6 day class on instagram @ gourmandisela videos here Linkin.bio
It is the sourdough which is the challenge…and scouting around where to find some decent wheat flour which has been off the shelves is tricky.

Slow and easy wins the race.

Thanks for posting @anon95374541 and @matt…way to hunker down WTF-style. :smiley:
