New Music Video Dedicated To All Who Have Suffered From Gun Violence
Hello,
Many of you know that for the last 11 years my wife and I have lived near Bend, Oregon after a lifetime in SoCal.This was the perfect place for us to relocate for many reasons. If you love the great outdoors and beautiful scenery, this is the place. Until recently, it’s been one of the friendliest and peaceful places I have ever been lucky enough to visit let alone live in! A few weeks ago, the unimaginable happened. There was a school shooting in Bend where three students and teacher were killed before an innocent bystander put and end to the horror. I have twin boys in their 4os and two grandchildren in LA. For years, our country has had too many of these events and I figured nothing like this could ever happen here but no place is immune. There is a sense of hopelessness that happens when events like this take place because there is seemingly nothing we can do as citizens to stop this. I was so saddened by this shooting that all I could offer was a song and a video which isn’t enough but it was my way to get through this. I have included a link at the bottom if you’re interested in hearing the song and watch the video. Let’s hope that one day, these events won’t ever happen again.
John Batdorf
