[Iowa-dx] Green Music In Iowa

[Green PartyRon]

Sounds really good to me, however, if we do invite him, we ALL
must promote him in every way we can possible:
writing to newspapers' announcements, posting flyers around
our cities (plural !!!), word of mouth.

>If at all possible, you should have Tom Neilson perform -- he's really  
>superb. One of the most politically astute folksingers with an
>extraordinary voice I've ever heard. It was a wonderful evening --
>the audience was crazy about  him, and many have asked us to
>have him down again soon. We raised good money for our
>sponsored "before you enlist" documentary. He's also great fun,
>very warm and engaging, had the audience laughing, and he spoke
>to all -- young, old, in-between. He did a song called "Body Bags"
>which really speaks to the counter recruitment movement -- I
>asked him to sing it for all, and it was very moving. He has some
>amazing tunes. A Finalist at Kerrville Songwriters? competition, he
>was called the Jon Stewart of folk music. You should grab him if
>you can.
