July 1, 2026 (Tokyo, Japan) - This is a fantastic rendition by jazz vocalist Harvey Thompson singing Only Love Only Peace. This music video was created with the hope that, transcending borders, race, language, and religion, we can all live in harmony and peace in the beautiful world that is our Earth. How wonderful it would be if everyone received a proper education and learned about humanity, animals, plants, and the true nature of our world. We strive for a world where no one cries out in anguish due to ugly discrimination, destructive wars, environmental pollution, hunger caused by food shortages, or the heartbreaking plight of refugees. Harmony exists in this world only when we share with one another, care for one another, and support one another. Furthermore, the equation for progress must never stray from humanity. Can we truly call it progress only when technological advancements are in harmony with us as human beings? We cannot leave this chaotic world to the children who will carry the future.

June 1, 2026 (Tokyo, Japan) - The following is what I wrote about Johnny Hartman influencing jazz vocalist Harvey Thompson's singing in Harvey's biography: "Harvey recalled meeting Johnny Hartman in March 1983 after Greg Dunmore's mother Jo told Harvey that Hartman would be singing at the Book Cadillac Hotel inside the Motor Bar. Harvey arrived early at the hotel's bar. As he walked in, he noticed an extremely well-dressed man in a gray suit with a loud, bright yellow necktie on. Harvey thought to himself, "That must be Johnny Hartman." Harvey said he was so nervous his hands were shaking. But Harvey, always being the one to venture forth, walked up to Hartman, extended his hand, and was warmly met by Hartman's deep baritone voice and an inviting warm smile. Harvey described Hartman as "a real gentleman." https://youtu.be/ILDqWHutba0?si=ZKVaUBTYu2vhMcSO
