There rides the Peace Train again! after almost 30 years!

I always notice a spark in the eyes of so many of my friends, neighbors and colleagues (mostly the baby-boomer generation in America) and they always fondly speak of Cat Stevens. What a legend he is!

Few singers have such a following. His records were mostly on vinyl and I think they were never released on CD's and tapes (?)

For a long time Cat Stevens, stopped performing, vanished out of sight and left the fans wondering.

After so many years, Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) performed "Peace Train" in Norway in 2006 at the Noble peace prize ceremony of Mohammed Yunus, the father of "micro-financing" for his work in eradicating poverty in Bangladesh.

I have decided to add a link here to the little-known performance for all those fans who I am sure are going love this treat from him.
