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.

for activists and artists sharing their vision and the dignity of human struggle

. . . THANKS and WOW! . . .

This year's 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! And stay tuned for next year's Woody Birthday Bash.

NOT IN THE NEWS . . .
Thousands of NYC's city workers stood together at City Hall on June 16 to protest the mayor's proposed budget cuts. The response by The Daily News was to not cover the event. Instead they ran a front page smearing unions and union workers.

How Kewl!

Rachel Stone's, Marc Crawford Leavitt's and my show

It's STILL the Economy, Stupid!

performed at The People's Voice Cafe earlier this year was reviewed by TheaterScene.net! And they liked it!

I want to thank everybody who came to make the evening so special. I want also to thank Rachel and Marc for being so talented and a pleasure to work with. Special thanks to Paul Johnson for being so good at what he does. His piano and musical direction was the glue making the show as good as it was. And thank you to TheaterScene.net for attending and for their kind words.

And here's my good friend Ray Korona to tell you more about the People's Voice Cafe.

A BLAST FROM THE SUMMER PAST, THE 2009

Woody Guthrie New York City Birthday Bash

at The Bowery Poetry Club, 308 Bowery at Bleecker St., NYC

This year's show on Sunday, July 12 was our ninth, and it was outstanding and amazing. We were joined by the one and only Oscar Brand, who has had a radio show devoted to folk music and the like for an incredible (get this!) sixty years! He knew Woody personally and told Woody stories in addition to singing three songs, accompanied by his son Jordan on bass guitar.

Our lineup also included our usual crew: Jessica Feinbloom, Anne Price, Steve Suffet, Gina Tlamsa, Carlos Vasquez, and myself. Kudos to everyone for a job well done, and Steve Suffet especially, for being our intrepid producer. We were also joined this year by Robin Greenstein, a remarkable musician who made us all look and sound better. Thank you, Robin.

Here's a taste of what I mean, with Robin on guitar. The song is Woody's "Mean Talkin' Blues".
Check it out.

I videotaped the entire evening and created three Songs of Freedom episodes that will be playing on cable television in NYC (see the schedule) and everywhere on the internet. You can see them right now on blip.tv.

You can also listen to the music from that show by clicking on this link.
