Something To Sing About

Last night, at around 11.30pm here in Adelaide, I was doing some recording work in my home studio when all of a sudden I noticed the floor starting to vibrate. At first I thought it was a heavy vehicle driving past… but as it got stronger and started to shake the house I quickly realized that this was an earthquake in progress!

As it turned out it was nothing serious, just a mild tremor which only lasted a few seconds. But it was long enough to grab my full attention & get me out onto the street… just in case!

Apparently it reached a magnitude of 4 which is quite mild in the scheme of things. Other than a general public scare, there was no real damage or injury associated with the earthquake that I’m aware of.

I must admit, it made me stop & think about what others might be having to deal with during & after a devastating earthquake. It made me wonder how we would deal with something like that?

It also prompted me to be grateful for what we have & to express my sincere gratitude to all of you who have supported my recent release of “Calling All The Saints” in aid of the people of Haiti who are having to deal with the horrific aftermath of a devastating earthquake.

You can get more details about the project at www.CallingAllTheSaints.org & grab a free copy of the song while you’re there.

It’s here! I’m releasing “Calling All The Saints” as a video and a FREE MP3 to raise awareness of the continued need for assistance in Haiti. The situation is still very bad for the survivors in Haiti. Rebuilding will take a long time and a lot of helping hands. We can support those survivors and helpers in Haiti by making donations to the Red Cross. If we all give, even small donations can go a long way.

Please give what you can to help those who were devastated by the earthquake on January 12th. This disaster, or something like it, could have happened where you live. It’s only by acting as one global community that we can overcome catastrophes of this magnitude when they occur.

Please visit http://www.CallingAllTheSaints.org to get your FREE copy & find out how you can help. And I’d really appreciate your support in sharing this video with your friends and contacts.

Just wanted to give you a quick heads up…

I have just finished recording a new song titled “Calling All The Saints” which will be officially released this Saturday as part of a special initiative to help raise money for the people of Haiti.

The song will be accompanied by a sobering video of images taken by the Red Cross which will really bring home the reality of what’s happened over there. The video will also provide details of where people can go to contribute to support the people of Haiti.

The song “Calling All The Saints” will be available for FREE via a new website which will be launched in conjunction with the song! But there’s a catch… in order to get the song for FREE you must pledge to donate at least one dollar to the Red Cross toward their relief efforts in Haiti. I think we can all afford at least a buck right! The new website will make the process quick and easy.

I look forward to getting your help to share the video & lend a helping hand to the people of Haiti.

Stay tuned…

Dino :)

Just wanted to wish you all the very best for 2010 & to take this opportunity to thank you for your incredible support. I am deeply grateful for that! Here’s to a phenomenal year!!

Adelaide, Australia -October 27, 2009-Dino Jag has made his mark dating back to 1995 when he was the lead vocalist for the band Stolen Waters. Since then his development as a recording artist has been on a steady incline and recognition for his work and projects with icons such as Sir Paul McCartney have been well documented.

A friend of mine forwarded this email to me this morning & I got a great laugh out of it. I just had to share it with you. It reminded me of the power of simplicity and how we should never underestimate the source of a piece of wisdom! Here’s the scoop…

A 1st grade school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It’s hard to believe these were actually done by first graders.. Their insight may surprise you. While reading, keep in mind that these are first-graders, 6-year-olds, because the last one is a classic!
