Prefix: A Gift of Christmas

I wrote about Tokyo based duo Prefix (Tk and Mairi) in October. We have since become great friends - they are some of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever known. Cyberspace can lead to true friendship, and music is often the link.

Tk and Mairi have just finished making a sweet video for their latest song, the beautiful track "A Gift of Christmas". The song, video and our friendship give me hope for the world.

Speaking of humanity: thousands of delegates in Copenhagen - where I'm visiting family for Christmas and New Year's - were not able to agree on very much at the COP15 climate conference these past two weeks. Perhaps from now on, important summit delegations should consist of musicians - we seem to be able to put our differences aside in ways that bureaucrats and politicians are not!
