“Sweet Cherry Wine” by Tommy James & The Shondells, is the Peace Song of the Day for October 31th. I have come to appreciate Tommy James mixture of pop and mesage more. It’s not enough to just oppose things. We need to stand for something. Listen to the 1st stanza.

Excerpt from the lyrics:
Sweet Cherry Wine

Oh yeah yesterday my friends were marching out to war
Oh yeah listen now we ain’t a marching anymore
No we ain’t gonna fight
Only God has the right
To decide who’s to live and die
