2011 - Recent News & Events of Doukhobor Interest
October 3, 2011 - "Peace" a new Ron Kalmakoff Youtube Video
From the artist ...
"The video was inspired by an original song that I wrote titled, 'Beyond the Valley and the Trees' from my Turn Around CD. This evokes a deeply personal message for me, which I hope can remain so while impacting others. And time-wise it felt right. What with our crazy world swinging in the balance these days--some nations flirting and falling into disaster while a lot of individuals just trying to keep afloat--its been a real eye-opener. While working on this project I kept thinking, " How can we have come such a long way through the centuries as human beings and still be fighting one another?" Seems that when we do something positive on a personal level, as a community, or in larger numbers, we make progress and move further ahead."
