"...long time lover of Phil Ochs' Music and i know you are going to love her...Here is SONiA disappear fear" Sonny Ochs (Phil's Sister)

This live video was filmed for the Festival of Daniel (FOD) - 2008 - to remember the great journalist, Daniel Pearl, who was murdered while working for peace in Pakistan February 2002. On October 10 (Daniel’s birthday) many musicians, composers and performers gather around the world to honor his tragically shortened life. This concert was organized by his dear friend Todd Mack. At this performance, SONiA is later accompanied by 14 year old violin prodigy Sam Weiser, on the song "Who’s So Scared" that appears on disappear fear’s CD disappear fear (Rounder Records 1994), and later recorded live at Secret Sound Studio in Baltimore for Sam’s Debut CD called SaM i Am. As Daniel Pearl was an aspiring vidonist, a luthier Jonathan Cooper from New England sculpted a violin and gave it to Marc O’Connor who teaches young classical string musicians at a summer camp in Tennessee. That year the youngest recipient was Sam Weiser. This concert was their first shared performance of many through the years.
