Pre-Nov. 2 Organizing Concert --- Pete Cassani & Four Bands

Hey Folks,

It’s time to think. If we don’t “getup/stand up” for our rights, we soon won’t have any. There’s a monster in the Whitehouse (I've got a song in the works with this very title), and he must be driven out!!

Maybe you’ve heard the ads on Air America. Check out the websites: http://www.worldcantwait.org/ and http://www.notinourname.net/ .

On November 2nd, every one of us who cares about the future of humanity needs to lend his or her voice, body, and energy to the effort of driving out this despicable nest of monstrous beasts.

How we might do that here in central Ohio is not clear at the moment, but its necessity is VERY clear, and folks are working on it. My understanding is that folks in the Cleveland and OU areas are ahead of us in this regard, but we WILL and MUST catch up. I’ll post more as it develops.

In the meantime, some of us radical musicians are working with the local NION group and with my friend, Pete Cassani of “the Peasants" ( http://www.thepeasants.net/ ) who will soon be on tour out of Boston with his awesome guitar and his more-awesome political dedication - to bring a pre-Nov.2 organizing show to Columbus.

We’ll be at Victorians’ Midnight Café on Friday, Oct. 14 with FOUR BANDS:

Bob Starker’s band “Whoa Nellie”
David Rine’s punk-ska band
“The Stops”
My band, “Ukulele Man & his Prodigal Sons”


AND HEADLINING !!!!


Pete Cassani’s “The Peasants.”

You won’t hear a guitar like this every day, and it won’t be played by anyone more committed to peace and justice.

No cover, but we WILL pass a hat to help keep Pete on the road. We’ll all have CD’s too – Pete has some very nice shirts as well.


Check out the websites and mark your calendars!
