Hello friends,<\/p>\n

I am so fortunate to be involved with an active community of songwriters here in New England. So when I was invited to attend a birthday for one of them last month, it seemed appropriate to honor her with a new song. Please join me in the kitchen and I will share it with you. <\/p>\n

I have a wonderful show coming up this month. On Sunday, February 17th at 2:00 pm I will be assisted by Seth Connelly at the historic Loring-Greenough House<\/a> in Jamaica Plain, MA. Click for details<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last month we officially released “I’m Gonna Use My Hands” with a music video, CD and supporting teaching and learning materials. The response has been remarkable – thanks to a great “street team” of teachers, social justice workers, family and friends. As of this writing, combined Facebook and Youtube views of the music video exceed 46,800, and the song has been played on several folk radio shows throughout the country. I am grateful to my musical partner Seth Connelly<\/a>, our children’s chorus, the production team of Steve Friedman<\/a> and Meryl Ayres<\/a>, the generous financial support by Chuck Honnet<\/a>, and so many others who assisted in ways large and small. If you would like to help us keep the energy up to “make the world a better place”, please share the following link with your contacts and social media.<\/p>\n
