    What a powerful and glorious song played beautifully and powerfully by Mr. Piano, Roger Williams. It still moves me and stirs my emotions as it did back in 1963. How prophetic and meaningful a song and story for today as tensions and conflict in the Middle East are at an alarming high. Baruj HaShem Adonai 🙏 "And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse.".

    Amazing performance. I do admire the ability of the artist to concentrate on the performance and not personify with the fact that those 'presidents' were mostly war criminals who openly lied to the public, approved overthrowing regimes around the world and very rarely had a positive impact on public life.
