CousinSusie's video: O C Smith La La La Peace Song

Hello Everyone, Well this one here, I have wanted to do for always! Now, just seemed it was the right time!! Lets not go to war, again! I know its a pretty heavy song, but it also has a great message too!! One love at a time, a hug, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day. SO WHY CAN'T WE JUST GET ALONG? I use to have so much fun dancing in the clubs to this back, in the disco days! Happy 1st Day Of Spring.......Enjoy!
