Peggy Seeger Obama song
Rich Balla sent this in -
HELLO ALL - this is a mass mailout, sent en masse to all of my mailing list. The attachment contains a song entitled "Obama is the One for Me". It is intended to help Obama's campaign for the presidency. The song is light, a bit over-idealistic and expresses my preference for the the person I feel is the best of the only two candidates that are running for the office. I don't normally push my political preferences via e.mail - so if you are absolutely against even hearing it, just delete the whole e.mail (although you might find yourself singing along with it: it's kind of catchy). If you do hear it and like it and feel that it could be of use to Obama's campaign, please
1) send it anywhere, to anyone, especially the media
2) sing it yourself in any style whatsoever
If you chance to record it yourself please put the first two lines of the credits below on the recording. Also, I'd love to hear what you do with it.
The credits for THIS recording are as follows, and the credits should follow the song wherever it goes in THIS form:
words, music, © Peggy Seeger
administered by Harmony Music
vocals: Peggy Seeger (lead) and Cathy Fink (harmonies)
arrangment: Cathy Fink, Marcy Marxer and Peggy Seeger
all instruments played by Marcy Marxer
further information from www.pegseeger.com
If you would like a CD of the 'Obama is the One for Me' which includes original artwork, a karaoke version (without lead vocals so you can sing it yourself) and a text in .pdf. Please send $5 (or a check made out to Peggy) and a good shipping address to:

The Singing Revolution
From Mark Rausher-
I just saw a fascinating documentary (at the Rosendale Theater, playing for the next 2 nights for those local) called The Singing Revolution. I strongly recommend it, to see how a culture can unite and inspire a nation (as opposed to American culture, which divides, pacifies and causes feelings of hopelessness and despair). It also shows the power of song to bring about unification, change and lifted spirits in the face of terrible odds and almost-certain defeat. If you can't find it playing near you, go to www.singingrevolution.com to learn more, and hear some native music-- Peace and Solidarity---

Tom Jones
From Joe Stead-
'Doc I can't stop singing The Green, Green Grass of Home'
'That sounds like Tom Jones syndrome.
'Is it common?'
'Is it common?'
'It's not unusual.'
