Folks,
I just got this from our friend Kitty Donohoe from Michigan who has worked the Fox Valley Folk Festival and concerts for many of us us in the past. On Thursday morning at The Pentagon 9/11 Memorial Dedication she will be performing her song "There Are No Words" (along with David Mosher and Pooh Stevenson backed by the US Air Force Band & Choir) on all three networks. It sounds like they will probably be on around the middle of the Dedication (around 8 to 8:30 AM Central time but check your TV schedule.

Here's what Kitty had to say:
============================================================
For those of you who have been following the interesting path of my song "There Are No Words", here¹s the scoop...
we (David Mosher, Pooh Stevenson and me) will be performing it at the dedication ceremony of the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial this Thursday, September 11th in Arlington, Virginia. I was initally disappointed when we were asked to change from the donor recognition dinner being held on the 10th to the ceremony itself on the 11th, because the dinner¹s being hosted by Tom Brokaw, lots of Œofficials¹ and celebrities will be there, and I thought it would be cool to be a part of that. And as it happens, we'll be guests anyway.
Then it began to sink in that this request from the Pentagon is a very big deal. The United States Air Force Band and Choir will be playing it with us and the entire dedication is going to be aired live on all networks, beginning at 8:00 AM (EST). The program goes until 10:30 and we¹re roughly in the middle, immediately following a moment of silence. As we¹re performing "There Are No Words" there will be a screen next to the stage running a clip from the film that got all of this started in the first place, "A Nation Remembers: The Pentagon 9/11 Story", and it's very moving. A special thanks to David Barrett for making that happen.
None of us have any idea what will follow this, but I'm honored to be a part of such a national event. A little scared, too. And it's always possible that at the last minute there will be a breaking news story or something and our part won't be seen by most Americans. But we¹ll still be there for the families of the victims, and that's what matters most.

So if you can get up and turn on the TV at 8:00 on Thursday and wing a little "good luck"our way, we'll feel it.
