Hi, welcome to my website. If you're a left-leaning music fan, you'll be glad you stopped by. Please get on my mailing list before you leave so that we can stay in touch. I only send out one email a month - The Fellow Travelers' Advisory - and I think you'll enjoy it. Eight thousand subscribers can't be wrong!
I've been 'comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable' since I graduated from high school in 1968. The Vietnam war and the Civil Rights Movement shaped my conscience and consciousness. I worked for a dozen years or so as a trial attorney, and served as President of the Pittsburgh Musicians' Union. For the last 25 years I was really living my dream... on the road 200+ days a year... all over the US and Canada, and then Sweden, Ireland and Denmark. It has been my privilege to spend most of my waking hours with people who are trying to make a difference in this world... people on strike, or in a union or community organizing drive, or defending women's rights, the environment, human rights ... working to end poverty and racism ... teaching peace.
In August of 2010 I was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer. This disease comes with a pretty grim prognosis. As I tried to reconcile myself to this reality, I reached out to my friends for help and support. I am overwhelmed! I haven't had to worry about money since I got ill. My heart is filled with gratitude to all of my friends and family.
On March 5th my fabulous oncologist said he'd see me again in six months! Here I am, more than 18 months after diagnosis, and completely cancer-free. It's amazing news and in complete defiance of the statistics - I've made a career of being defiant, though - and I recommend it to all of you.
My few attempts at performance have convinced me that I'm a long way from being able to return to work full time. But I feel great and I'm still in good voice and playing the guitar as well as I ever did. I'm getting back to some limited touring. Check my calendar to see if I'm headed your way. And give me a call if you'd like to have me perform at your next convention, summer school, organizer training, rally, concert series, picket line or riot.
In the meantime, I hope you'll keep buying my cds http://www.cdbaby.com/all/unionmaid and - if you find yourself ahead of the game some month - your clicks on the Paypal button below are great surprises and most appreciated.
