Dear All, I am happy to share two personal accomplishments TODAY. I worked on Harry Potter ( Warner Brothers/One Voice) as an analyst, reviewer, advisor on Croatian language for Literary & Film projects for the first four books of Harry Potter, during the last year. But today, November 16th, 2001, is the premier of the first film, so it feels good. Also, I participated in the recordings of We Are Family CD and scored (wrote music) for the one hour TV special of "The Making and Meaning of We Are Family." CD is on sale worldwide. Globalvision is still working on DVD that will include the film that is directed by Danny Schechter. www.globalvision.org Charm comes in three and I hope that I will sign another contract today, that is in progress for some time. Keep fingers crossed. Don't ask how I do all of this (that is the most asked question). I don't know either. My family do. Best, Nenad Bach http://www.wearefamilyfoundation.com/version_html.html http://www.wearefamilyfoundation.com WE ARE FAMILY is an expression of concern and a celebration of our common humanity. It is not political. It takes no stands except one: Our world culture needs to hear more voices of tolerance and to insure that prejudice, racism and blind revenge should never become an acceptable action, and should not now be an accepted response. Our country is in pain. Many have lost friends, family, and a part of a city they loved. We know that everyone wants to help, and millions of dollars are being raised for relief and recovery. Yet, individuals are suffering losses that money can never replace. Our society needs relief too. We need inspiration and unifying messages to help heal a stunned and traumatized nation that, in its best moments, has shown the beautiful ways people can help and love each other. It is time for all of us who treasure our most fundamental American ideals to do everything possible to promote tolerance. The obligation and responsibility of patriotism is not just to defend our country from outside enemies but also to ensure our principles are not challenged or compromised from within. Like justice, debate and free expression, diversity and freedom of religion are also values we must defend. We need to hear each other and not demonize each other. WE ARE FAMILY. On Saturday, September 22, 2001, in response to the devastating attack on New York, Washington, DC and Pennsylvania, over 150 celebrities came together in unity and strength of purpose to re-record the Sister Sledge classic "We Are Family." The song is a celebration of our common humanity, a theme song to unite our nation and the world. This celebrity version includes performances by Diana Ross, Patti LaBelle, Luther Vandross, Roberta Flack, Ashford & Simpson, Dionne Warwick and many other top singers, actors and sports figures. It was produced by Nile Rodgers and co-executive produced by Tom Silverman for Tommy Boy Music and SumThing Else Musicworks. Spike Lee shot the music video and there will be a one-hour documentary available soon. The WE ARE FAMILY PROJECT DONATES proceeds from the sale of the record to well run, non-profit relief, educational, legal defense and tolerance promoting activism. Funds will be shared by The American Red Cross and the Cantor-Fitzgerald Relief Fund. For more information, contact: kris.chen@tommyboy.com To learn more about the worthwhile organizations below, check out each group's website. Get involved and help spread the message of compassion, caring, and tolerance.

You can also purchase the download from our friends at Liquid Audio. Either way, it's a great way to contribute and get a historical recording in return!
