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.

An Occupation Christmas
by joel landy

[song intro]
At Halloween it's a pumpkin
An apple on 4th of July
George Washington's day -- it's a cherry
There are so many fruit you can try
And now at this holiday season
I hope that you all sing along
You can have your particular reason
To share occ-u-pie with a song . . .

Have an Occupation Christmas
To the people everywhere
Hear the voice of freedom ringing
From Tahrir to Liberty Square

An Occupation Christmas
All the people that you meet
March for economic justice
When they gather in the street 

Every city, every nation and democracy event
From the heart and from the people and the ninety nine percent

Enjoy your Occupation Christmas
A world of justice and no fear
Have your vision and your future
And a brave new year!

Mayor Bloomberg and the NYPD emptied Zuccotti Park in downtown NYC in the early hours of November 15, yet the movement continues

Here are two videos. One is Keith Olbermann's Special Comment from November 15th,
and the other is Occupy Baltimore's greeting of Karl Rove
when he spoke at Johns Hopkins University.

Scenes from the Occupation of Wall Street


Video:  At Zuccotti Park Nov. 11, 2011

Video:  At Zuccotti Park Nov. 11, 2011

One of the things I became aware of at Zuccotti Park 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/

 

There's something happening here. What it is is becoming clear.

Songs of Freedom will be there with you as we change the world.

In solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Liberty Square and everywhere, here is what is going on.

- Dateline -
New York, Rome, Spain, London, Brussels and other locations around 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 presentation.
 

It is up to all of us to stay passionate,
stay powerful, stay informed and keep the Faith!
A change is coming.

Can you feel it?

Save the middle class, save our planet,
hold Wall Street criminals accountable

Remembering the 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   Show One    Show Two )

The 2010 Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash in NYC


 

. . . THANKS and WOW! . . .

The 2010 Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash at The Bowery Poetry Club was an overwhelming success.
Thank you for coming and watching online.
The music and energy were great. We all had a wonderful time. And...perhaps most importantly, we raised $420 to give to Oxfam America for Haiti earthquake relief. I believe Woody would approve.

Thanks also to The Bowery Poetry Club, the artists who gave their time and talent to the event, and to Steve Suffet, who continues to promote the event with spirit and skill.

 Here's a page where you can look at photos
and listen to the entire show.

Enjoy!
