[1999]
Lyrics & Music by John McCutcheon
Album: Supper's On The Table [2000]

Album: Stand Up! Broadsides For Our Times [2003]

John wrote this song a few years ago about Vedran Smailović, who was a resident of the city of Sarajevo in the early 1990's, when that city was literally in the middle of a battle zone. Vedran was a cello player whose courageous choice made him a symbol for unexpected joy in the midst of unspeakable horror when he began playing his cello out in the street everyday...
