Thanks to all of you who wrote me back about my jaunt to Crawford. Apparently, the story was forwarded widely - I got a thank-you note from a friend in Arkansas. If anyone's interested in reading what a local paper had to say about that day, and see a pic of me on stage, next to Joan Baez and Liz Carpenter, you can check out: http://www.lonestariconoclast.net/News/2005/31-40/34news01.htm
This Wednesday evening, Aug. 31, I'm planning to be down at City Hall, where Cindy Sheehan will be kicking off a bus tour to Washington. Jim Hightower will be introducing her. I don't expect to be performing, but I expect to be cheering them on. The rally starts at 6 at the new City Hall, Cesar Chavez and Guadalupe.
Lastly, although I'm headed off to the Kerrville Folk Festival this weekend, I'm passing this info along from friends up at Camps Casey. They're folding up the tents after Wednesday, and looking for help. If you're up for a few hours of driving and lots of inspiration, the best way to help is to head to the Crawford Peace House, in town. They can direct you where to park and run shuttles out to the camps, where parking is limited. If you call ahead, 254-486-0099, you can ask if they need any supplies. Or get the latest at www.CrawfordPeaceHouse.org.
Directions to Crawford: From I-35, take exit 330 to 6 North. Go about 7 miles, cross Lake Waco and once it becomes a one-lane road, there will be a stop light. Take that left onto Rt. 85 and go 9 miles into Crawford. The Peace House will be on your right just before the railroad tracks.
Peeps through Music,
