We may well march to show our  anger against oppressive regimes and our empathy for those that suffer but the bombs stil drop and the bullets continue to fly.  What should we believe in when there is nothing left to believe in? From the old (predominately rich  white) men in suits and even the young ones there is no hint of change nor would it ever seem so.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-beige-background-color has-background\">This month I have been mostly beavering away in my musical cave doing a lot of recording  with a few trips out to rehearsals and not much else.  The days are getting noticeably a little bit longer now though.  It&#8217;s got to help a bit you would hope. I have felt a bit post viral for a week or so now, but I am not aware of picking up any bugs. Weird.  <br> <\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-dates has-authors has-excerpts wp-block-rss\"><li class='wp-block-rss__item'><div class='wp-block-rss__item-title'><a
