Special Guest!
Here's what will be happening on Sunday, April 30 at 2 p.m.
Bill Valenti will join us for The Art of the Protest Song.
Bill sez: I thought it would be useful to add a few sample lyrics as “appetizers” for the workshop: one angry rant (“Masters of War”) and one soulful lament (“17”). I suppose it's easiest just to post the links:
Masters of War
At Seventeen
We’ll have a whack at writing two versions of a “protest” song on one topic.
Also will discuss ‘distributing’ protest songs via online news media.
