Michael Jackson – Earth Song
Musical Interlude — by Craig Mackintosh
One of the most expensive music videos ever made was Michael Jackson’s ‘Earth Song’. Perhaps an appropriate listen today…. The rather dramatic footage was shot in four locations – the Amazon forest, a war zone of Croatia, Tanzania and New York.
Whatever people might say or think about Michael – he was part of the human family. His childhood and life is certainly one I would not wish to have and one I cannot imagine experiencing.

Quail Springs – Put to Music
Demonstration Sites, Education Centers, Musical Interlude — by Warren Brush
