Not that I am happy or really doing well physically with this sinus infection and bronchitis thing I am trying to kick... but one thing was really great today. I watched the Dispatch: Zimbabwe benefit concert they did in NYC at Madison Square Garden. How do you make Dispatch more concert friendly? Add fifty children from Zimbabwe to the chorus and play a sold out benefit show (or three). It was heartwarming. Not sure if you can get it on DVD yet but it is worth looking for. There is or will be a box set too. You can check out some songs on Youtube, like Elias, which is a classic Dispatch song about a gardener from Zimbabwe.
