On the Radio
I was interviewed for a full hour
by Pacifica Radio's
Ken
Gale.
We talked about social change, the power of music and projects
such as Songs of Freedom
and the shows I produced at Greenwich Village's Yippie Cafe. And,
yes, there were songs too.

and the entire interview.

Songs from the
OCCUPIED! performance at the
Peoples' Voice Cafe included: |

from
"These Are
the Days!"
original words ("Those Were the Days")
by Gene Raskin
Citizens
United and Koch brothers and billionaires who run this crooked
game
The 99
Percent can feel their power and from now on things cannot be
the same
These are
the days, my friends, when sleeping silence ends
We claim our
future. We’re fighting for our lives.
Around the
world we rise, occupy, organize.
These are the
days, oh yes, these are the days. |
from
"It Isn't
Nice"
original words: Malvina Reynolds
new words: Joel Landy
It isn't nice to block the doorway
It isn't nice to go to jail
There are nicer ways to do it
But the nice ways always fail
It isn't nice, it isn't nice
You told us once, you told us twice
But if that is freedom's price
Then we don't mind
It isn’t nice to work for justice
It isn’t nice to make demands
Or to gather by the thousands
No matter what the law commands
We’re beyond the old advice
To ask permission won’t suffice
And if that is freedom’s price
Then we don’t mind. |
Scenes from
the Occupation of Wall Street, November 2011
The real people, the
real issues and the real pain continues in America and the world.
One of the things I became aware of at Zuccotti Park last fall were
the individual human stories attached to every person who is there. They
all came from somewhere with a past, a present, and some kind of future.
Human stories walking around, living in tents, working at various
occupation community details or visiting to vigil for hours. Some had
businesses and jobs. Some still do. Some are there to claim a future
somewhere somehow. All of them share a bond that they were there.
The videos above highlight two of the human stories. The first one is a
person who had a business and was occupying the park. The person
behind the dollar bill is a vigil visitor. Click on the photos to
link to You Tube videos.
You can see
more photos at my Facebook link.
For more information about the Occupation in NYC and how to get involved
with any of the workgroups there, visit the New York City General
Assembly website at
http://www.nycga.net/groups/
And don't forget the April 28th show at the
Peoples' Voice Cafe!
There's something happening here. What it is is becoming clear.
Songs of Freedom
will be there with you as we change the world.

Two awesome events calling
for the closing of the Indian Point nuclear facility in
Buchanan, NY, 30 miles from NYC. The first was a protest in
front of the Governor's office. The second was a week earlier on
the Hudson River, featuring the passionate words of Dr. Helen
Caldicott. Click on the picture above to see her moving

Remembering 2011 and Last Summer
It was a spectacular
summer. June brought us the annual People's Music
Network gathering and the Clearwater Revival.
July gave us
the eleventh Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash in New
York City, and August brought to New York the great Leon Rosselson and
his final tour of North America.
Included was his final show in the USA.
It took place before Songs of
Freedom cameras.
(See the two edited episodes here

April 20-22, 2012
was GREAT
this year!
I performed an hour of Songs of Freedom on the Saturday,
and another hour of Phil Ochs music on the Sunday of the festival. In
addition, I sang Songs of Struggle with my People's Music Network
friends, along with an hour of freedom music for children.
It was so much fun.
Pictures from the weekend will be coming to this space soon.
Stay tuned!
