Well folks it’s been a year since my MAY DAY show, for which my friend Antonino D’Ambrosio generously wrote an amazing essay. The emphasis of the MAY DAY show… the rights of the working class and renewal of the human spirit, despite the distress we face, continue to be themes of my art and Antonino’s writing and filmmaking. If you believe in art as a tool of justice you should read Antonino’s “A Heartbeat And A Guitar”, now available in paperback(I also did the cover). I have worked with AIM(The American Indian Movement), and I’m now working with Aaron Huey on his Pine Ridge reservation project, so the Native American issues addressed in “A Heartbeat And A Guitar” are important to me and something I think people should look into. Folk legend Pete Seeger calls the book “A rare work that is beautiful and inspiring.” It’s coming out this week available everywhere books are sold including Amazon.com, nationbooks.com perseusbooks.com. Check it out. Thanks for caring.
