	An upbeat ska tune that states in no uncertain terms what people need to do to make a brighter future. The trombone leads the way from the downbeat, with the bass and drums locking in to support. Stan lets the message guide his vocal perfomance, with a nice flourish at the end.

	Story Behind the Song This idea was inspired by the remarks of two very young gang members I encountered while taking my baby daughter for a walk one day in Santa Barbara. The crux of the song is that we don't need to waste energy on hating each other, when there are bigger challenges in this life. The lyrics and melody came together shortly after this incident in 1995, but the trombone and bass lines were born much later, after I go into MIDI sequencing on my PC. Recording went very smoothly, with such great players!
