Hi All Here is a song that a couple of you may have seen me performing on streetjelly. It is another one I wrote on my trip around Zimbabwe. It is basically trying to say that the main problem with this Rhino thing is the ****ards who are buying the stuff. The poachers themselves are the puppets on their "Fools Errand". The video has been "monetised" on Youtube in an attempt to try and raise some money. I would appreciate it if you could share it around on Facebook etc so that it gets some views. Fools Errand on Youtube Realtracks in Song: RealTracks in style: 366:Bass, Electric, Country Ev 065 RealTracks in style: ~364:Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 065 RealTracks in style: 841:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopBalladSlowGritty Ev 065 RealTracks in style: ~368:Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 065 RealDrums in Song: NashBrushBalDbKEv16^1-a:SideStick, Brushes , b:Brushes, Snare

Josie, a fabulous job on the song as well as the story.
As stewards over the animal kingdom, man has failed miserably.
I have read that thousands of species are becoming extinct every day but go unnoticed because of their relative insignificance. To see the Rhino being decimated is absolutely tragic. Thanks for making the world aware. Unfortunately, I believe it's a matter of "too little, too late!"

Joanne,
A very cool thing you are doing here.
A terrific recording. Good vocals and a good mix (those acoustic guitars sound good!)
The video is nice. I thought you could have used some text showing over the ending photo quickly reiterating the numbers and mentioning the "proceeds going to..." once more....
I applaud you. Bravo, girl!

Hi Don.
Thanks for that comment. I agree. We have failed miserably. I hope and pray that it is not too late for the rhino. Awareness is the key.
Hi Floyd.
Thanks for that. I have added an annotation with the statistics and reminding viewers were the proceeds will go. We had 500K rhinos in the early 20th century and now we have less than 30K. Over 1000 rhinos were poached in South Africa in 2013 alone. Appalling really.
(Annotations are wonderful things in youtube. You can add them without altering the original video)

cool tune and for a good cause.
Your singing on this reminded me of Joan Baez in a few places.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

A situation that definitely needs more attention. Rhinos, elephants, exotic birds, leopards, the list goes on and on and is probably happening in your backyard on a micro scale. You are doing a wonderful thing with this and the emotion put into it shows both on the audio and video. And a fine production to wrap it all in.

Really nice work and video. Powerful and moving! Loved the studio sequences too. Rhinos really are beautiful in their own way. Such a shame. Take care. Greg

Hi Herb - Thanks for listening and to be compared to Joan Baez is a great compliment!
Hi Dani – I echo your sentiments on the Rhino. I cannot believe that people are still buying this stuff. I do hope we are not too late to do something.
Hi Tommy – Thanks for listening and for your kind comments as always.
Janice and Bud – Thanks for your comments. We definitely need to pay more attention to this. The thing with the Rhino is that it is going extinct from man’s vanity.
Guenter – Thanks. I am hoping to raise some money with this campaign.
Blues – Thanks for listening and commenting.
Hi Noel – Thanks for you very nice comments as always.
Greg – Thanks and yes it is a great shame.

Wishing you all the best on this fantastic and worthwhile crusade
It's beyond me how anybody could consider destroying any of these wonderful animals. When is enough, enough? Then people involved in the poaching maybe fools, but the end users are completely brainless.
Great job

Hi Trevor I agree with you 100%. The end users have absolutely nothing to gain other than some sort of bogus vanity claim. The poachers are just puppets who see an animal wandering around the bush with a lump of gold on its face.

Good strong song which gets its message across poignantly largely thanks to the powerful vocal and simple chorus.
