Anne Feeney's Hellraisers' Page
David Newby and Kathleen McElroy - Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 7:40 PM
We laughed, we cried, we sang and drank, we fought, we hugged, we napped in a sixteenth century graveyard and cut turf in the middle of a wild Connemara bog – yes, we took Anne's trip to Ireland. If you can possibly make it, GO WITH ANNE TO IRELAND. DO NOT MISS THIS TRIP! It is unlike any you ever may take – it is musical, political, congenial, gently-paced. Our remarkable Anne has found an absolute gem in Tom Pigott, an Irish tour guide. You'll find him to be friend, confidant, teacher, singer and raconteur. Tom is kind and sensitive, and alert to needs, foibles and eccentricities. On the last night of your tour, you may be invited to contribute verses to "Goodnight Irene". Here is one about Tom: We traveled the west coast of Ireland With Tom as our hearty guide We each were our own little drama Which Tom did so kindly abide Tom, Anne, and Paddy (our driver and co-pilot) tend to the trip's detail and the traveler's dreams. They are culturally and politically knowledgeable in ways we valued, and that you will value. They are astute and caring. They assure an appropriate adventure for high-energy folk, while tending gently to those who might falter or fall behind. The three moved our small group forward at reasonable pace, deftly incorporating into the tour the lovely contours of the Irish land and the splendid courage of its people. THIS TRIP IS MUSICAL. AND IT IS POLITICAL. HOW COULD IT NOT BE BOTH, WITH ANNE FEENEY IN THE MIX ?!? Tom is a terrific singer, and alert to the best of Irish musicians. He led us from pub to pub seeking authentic, robust traditional Irish musical performances. And of course, Anne sings too. One night she sang an important Irish anthem so impeccably and so brilliantly that the principal pub singer, an Irish political radical, asked her to marry him on the spot! AND THE POLITICS OF IT ALL – a coach full of like-minded political activists, seeking out local political actions and becoming immersed in the labyrinthian political history that is Ireland. How lucky we were to be swept up in the intensity of the politics of a proud and rebellious people. DO NOT MISS THIS TRIP. Joakim again - Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 8:16 AM ..oh yes, by the way, the new record is GREAT! Joakim Karlsson - Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 8:12 AM Thank you for the really nice gig on the Peace & Love festival. You brought both of those components wich the festival stands for. We will try to catch a couple of more gigs this summer. Keep up the good work. What you do sure are important! Guy Zahller - Monday, June 30th, 2008 7:10 PM Anne, Just wanted to come by and say thanks for the wonderful tour. I´m sure you don´t get to hear Irish history that way on your normal tour! It was a wonderful, musical, informative tour. It was great to get to know you and Julie and everyone else. What a great group of talented musicians it turned out to be. Wow and are you guys on the ball I already got the CD with Julie´s pictures and sketches and I haven´t even had time to look at all my pictures! Peace, Love and Vegetable Rights! Guy Zahller Aptos, CA June 10-19, 2008 sandi buckert - Sunday, June 22nd, 2008 3:18 PM dear annie, i have finally got my computer up and running again with a new email address and just signed up for your schedule again,....hopefully you remember playing for the woman of the carpenters union in 2005 and when a bunch of us saw you later that fall in massachusetts at a house concert.....well i have some news that may interest you....we have just had the first woman retire from the carpenters union in new england with the full 30 credits.we are proud knowing that the doors are not only opening to women but we are also surviving and finally retiring in the "mans world." we are in the process of making a video with interviews from several women who are getting ready to retire from traditioally male occupations.on may 9 2009 we are planning an event at a large hall with dinner and speakers to celebrate our retirees and to finally show the video.... we would be thrilled if you could participate in any way in this event...from writing one of your special songs to maybe singing or speaking at the event...could you send us as much info as you can as far as what you would need or require from us to include you in this ...thank you so much ...in solidarity sandi buckert Thomas Perusi - Tuesday, June 10th, 2008 8:38 AM Anne, My name is Tom Perusi and a friend of mine Jon blaihu was in texas when you played there. He said you gave him a free cd for helping you. I am one of the leaders heading up the union drive for Teamsters here at FedEx express. As you can imagine it will be a huge undertaking against a corporate giant that gave up its policy of people service profit(people came first) to now profit service profit. They have taken our retirement and left all of us with a small portion of our retirement that will be left in 08 dollars even though many of us will not retire for a long time. I was hoping to see if the Teamsters whould hire you for our huge rally coming up on the 26th of June. I see you will be in Denmark till august. Jon and I would like to know if we could play your cd at the rally. We expect General President Hoffa to attend and every teamster for this convention rally for the organizing of Fedex express workers in class and craft. I have not heard it yet but jon assures me of your great talent for taking up for the little guy. I have put my job and family on the line for this and I have either been lucky enough or smart enough (even though they tried) to get me fired. Anyway we would like your permission to play it and who knows many may hear it and you may get some sales from it. I know he has the cd and you would not know if we played it but we do not work that way. You worked hard and we would not take advantage of that, it goes against our way of helping people too. I look forward to your reply. thank you Jonathan Mahon - Saturday, May 31st, 2008 7:44 PM Can you give more dtails of your Irish gigs, where and when? Gary Doebler - Tuesday, May 27th, 2008 4:27 PM Hi Anne - Long time no see.... I'm sure you've heard that Utah passed away. If you are interested in perhaps putting together a Utah tribute (perhaps fundraising) event, please let me know. I could put some energy into it. I could even do a song myself (just not very well...). Hope this email finds you well. GD Mary Sue Twohy - Saturday, May 17th, 2008 8:03 PM Hi Anne, Can you please send me your song "Jail for Justice"? We will be playing some tracks of your new CD on XM15 this month. If you see Jim and Llouis, please tell them I said hi - love those folks. Mary Sue Twohy XM Satellite Radio XM15 The Village 1500 Eckington Place, NE Washington, DC 20002 Thank you, Mary Sue Melvin T Arendt - Thursday, May 15th, 2008 2:09 AM Found your site after listening to you raise some hell at the Barrymore,for Utah Phillips.It was mind altering.Never belonged to a union.Thanks for the education. Jim Hale - Sunday, May 11th, 2008 12:23 AM We are playing some of your songs, but we dont have Dump the bosses. We sure would love a airplay CD! The Peace Train 1610AM is a low power experimental broadcast station in Fayetteville, Arkansas. We went on the air April 4th 2006, the anniversary of the death of Casey Sheehan in Iraq.

It is always good to find other hell raisers and someone who cares about our work and stands up for it. Hang in there and keep on raising hell. June Wilcoxen Larry Duncan - Saturday, May 3rd, 2008 9:46 AM Hi Anne, We of Chicago Labor Against the War are publicizing your upcoming Chicago event on May 18th. Have you heard of the late-June National Assembly against the war in Cleveland? We have flyers for it and would like to bring to your event. Do you have a phone number I can reach you at? My phone is: 773-561-0908. In solidarity, Larry Duncan CLAW (also of Labor Beat) becky king - Thursday, May 1st, 2008 10:40 AM i saw my first anne feeney show in 1990 at a small church in the east end. i was 9 years old and i thought the best song ever was "Why can't I have Nintendo?" My mom is also like that and i could totally relate to that song. i have seen her several more times and have most of her songs on my ipod. total fan. anne feeney you are one of the most strong, confident, beautiful women i have ever seen or met and you were in inspiration to me and i just want to that you Vicki Locke - Friday, April 18th, 2008 7:28 PM Hi Anne, It was great meeting you on Thursday at Local 85 union office. I look forward to learning more about you and have listened to some of your music on your website. How do I get your new CD?Take good care. Sheila Scott - Wednesday, April 16th, 2008 9:53 AM Hey Anne! Long time! I used to be with the Solidarity Singers in St. Paul, MN. Various things kept me overly occupied outside the labor movement (trying to maintain a law office that actually does justice) but I'm back!!!! I was never more than a step away at all times. So, now working for the state, Human Rights Department (to continue my work of justice) and an active member of MAPE. Dawn Addy reminded me to look you up to talk Ireland.....and I've been needing a FeeneyFix for awhile now. Great site! Hope to see you sometime soon, and hear you much more often. Thanks for the Irish info! jim abbott - Wednesday, April 16th, 2008 5:14 AM Greetings FW; Anne- talked to you briefly at Labor Notes, where I picked up th new CD (sorry I couldn't make the house party concert, but Sundays are bad for me.) Outstanding CD; 'Ya Basta!' and the mining songs especially. The tune to 'Hillcrest Mine' sounds alot like FW Len Wallace's 'Never Tire Of The Road.' Len's Canadian as well as the writer of the song; James Keelaghan. Any connection? (heck, there's even only a one second difference in the lenght of the two.) And 'Business News, Hallelelujah, I'm A Bum' reminds me of Simon and Garfunkel's take on 'Silent Night', in which they sang the song over a newcaster's reporting on such things as the death of DR. MLK, more and more US troop being slaughtered in Vietnam, the dicks and bulls beating of protesters at the Jackass Parties convention in Chicago in '68, and Dick Nixon's slanderous lies about war prtotesters. Anyway, great stuff. Peace and Solidarity. yours for a better world; jim abbott Detroit Branch, IWW James M. McCarthy - Wednesday, April 9th, 2008 12:07 PM Got your site from the WILG List Serve. We have a NFP - Triangle Memorial Factory Fire Memorial which raises funds for scholarships for children of injured workers in NY. We have done so for six years with a dinner and journal. March 25, 2009 is the 98th commemoriation of the Triangle Fire. We are considering a different type of event to attract greatere union support. Contact me. TY Donald Henry - Monday, April 7th, 2008 3:38 PM I can't believe how lucky I am to have seen you at the Buried show. I am now enjoying your music for the first time and look forward to many more years with you now a part of life. Lee Shapiro - Thursday, March 27th, 2008 12:18 PM I have a houseconcerts series in Sharon, Ma. about 25 miles from Boston. I may have a gig for you on Nov 7th. Email me with a better email address for more info from me. You remind me of a female Cisco Houston Lee David Engels - Wednesday, March 26th, 2008 12:08 PM Anne Feeney Date: 3/20/2008 9:36:28 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time To: sf_folk@music.cus.com Traveling throughout North America and Europe, Anne Feeney is truly an Ambassador America can be proud of. Her energy and spirit are contagious, enlightening audiences regarding the social justice issues of the day. Advocating for living wages and labor laws that protect us all, Anne has been at the forefront of struggles most of us only read about in newspapers. A champion of human and civil rights, she is a great example of how goodness manifests itself, every day. The St. Maurice church in Fort Lauderdale welcomed Anne last night to lead a fundraiser for the Immokalee agricultural workers. With no sound system, using a booming voice that filled the hall, Anne led the crowd in song and educated/entertained all of us, once more. Anne shared with us some family history. Her grandfather was a well known labor organizer and real hellraiser. Over the past year Anne has chronicled his contribution to the labor movement. It's obvious to see there is a genetic component to dedication and determination. Anne's newest creation is a cd that features songs by many outstanding writers. "Dump The Bosses Off Your Back" is just out this week and you can order it at cdbaby.com/all/unionmaid Beautifully crafted and produced, this collection must be added to your acoustic folk library. Anne Feeney is truly an American treasure. With a keen wit, wonderful comedic timing, and the gift of leading us all in song, Anne makes a difference with every appearance out on the road. She often says "Movements are people"; that's what creates change. That may be correct, but without leaders like Feeney and Seeger as examples, it would take much longer. Jerry Gray, of the renown Canadian Folk group The Travellers, joined Anne for several numbers on banjo and vocals. Thanks to the volunteers at the St. Maurice who hosted this important and very uplifting event. At the music, Leni and David Karen Newman - Sunday, March 23rd, 2008 6:17 PM Your new CD is FANTASTIC! Love the lyrics. Love the guests; love the harmonies. Love the picture of you on the jacket; it is sooooo you. This is your best release so far. Thank you for the music! Bill Milner - Sunday, March 16th, 2008 4:18 PM "We need ideas that can transcend our economic needs and our fear and assist us in making a collective quantum leap." This was spoken by the next guest on Mike Stock's Folk and Acoustic Show after your appearance Sunday, (3/16/08 on WLRN 91.3FM) in Miami, Fl Anne, and I'm sure that you would agree with the sentiments expressed in it. I have a proposal that I believe can be transformative in many areas of our society. I look forward to hearing your music and speaking with you Tue in Lake Worth at the Friend's Meeting place. Peas & Luv, Bill Milner Delray Beach, FL im14peasnluv2@yahoo.com Leslie Rios - Thursday, March 13th, 2008 9:01 AM Hello Anne, I saw your performance at UNF Monday evening and took your messages to heart. I work in a school called New Leaf School for Change and was wandering if you would like to check out our socail experiment if you are in the area still. We are teaching in way to change how our youth thinks to grow up as caraing adults and how teachers teach one school at a time. I beleive you would have a wonderful experience. mat callahan - Wednesday, March 12th, 2008 6:31 PM Dear Anne: David Rovics suggested I contact you. Here's saying, "Hello and good wishes". I am a musician presently touring the East Coast with my partner, Yvonne Moore. You can find out more about us at my site. Please drop a line if you have time. Cheers, Mat Barb Blackledge - Monday, March 3rd, 2008 2:17 AM Anne, I need to contact you about BURIED here at IUP. Can you let me know how to do that? Thanks! Marian Gordon - Monday, January 7th, 2008 8:53 PM Hi Anne. I know you from Western Workers Labor Heritage Festival, and very much admire your work. A friend told me that you are leading a/some tour/s to Ireland this summer. Is this true? I am planning to go, have never been, and was just getting read to book a tour. However, I am going to the Eisteddfod on Wales from 7/8 to 7/13, and have to do the Ireland tour around that. Can you let me know ASAP if you are doing anything at that time? Thanks. Dan Feeney - Saturday, January 5th, 2008 4:06 PM Happy New Year , just browsing and googled boilermakers. I am a member of Local 7 Buffalo,NY. Robin West - Thursday, January 3rd, 2008 9:03 PM Good evening Anne, Happy New Year! I hope you remember, we met at Darryl's house in June (July?) at the memorial for Berk Snow. I love your lyrics! And I love that you post them freely. My 70 year old mom just started dating a fellow who just got out of prison for tax evasion. I had to tell him about this song. My mom sings a lot, so he said he will get her to learn it and sing it for him! Next I will introduce them to the lyrics for Defenders of Marriage. Maybe . . . Hope all is well, if you get back to Southern Humboldt let me know! Peace and Fun, Robin Kate (Tylers mom) - Thursday, December 6th, 2007 10:50 PM Just asking for good thoughts. I am the President of AFSCME Local 1995. We are a small but mighty local with 350 members. We work for Multnomah Education Service District (MESD) in Portland Oregon. Our jobs consist of working with special needs children, office support staff, School health assistants, and Technical staff. The President of the Oregon AFL-CIO refers to the MESD as "The Wal-mart of public education". We are heading into our 6th day of a strike. We just would like you to know that we play you music on the line everyday and it helps keep us going!! For more information see oregonafscme.com Thanks, Kate carole fields - Wednesday, November 28th, 2007 8:48 AM to the "least peaceful person I know who is the most raging grannie for peace" Nice to see you at the SOA. I wish you good health and travel mercies. Carole Fields Sofloraginggranny Karen Newman - Tuesday, November 27th, 2007 11:40 PM To all Feeney Fans who have a union job with a living wage and benefits: It´s time we cough up some cash so Anne´s music can educate the rest of the population. COPE donations are not enough to get the job done; we need the public on our side. I challenge you to be a sponsor for the work Anne does on behalf of all of our affiliates. Karen Newman, President, B.A. Amalgamated Transit Union Local 398 Boise, Idaho Erik - Wednesday, November 21st, 2007 6:56 PM hey anne I just wanna say thank you for your wonderful music of peace and love. also thank you for letting me interview you after the Vigil on Sunday, it was an amazing experience for me, and it really made my weekend.

Kiki Katie - Tuesday, July 10th, 2007 3:08 PM Hello Anne- I didn't have my phone on me traveling the rails, but it was such a nice surprise to hear from you and I hope your travels are unfolding with ease and adventure. The ocean was wonderful, I am still getting my land legs back, but it is a small price to pay for an amazing experience. I am so glad our paths crossed for the short time it did, it renewed my desire to travel, and to generally raise some hell, out here, and when I get back to NC (and wherever I go from there).

Also, we are hosting a house concert with Joe Jencks on Sunday afternoon, May 6th at 2 PM in New City, NY.

Got your CD "If I can't dance" from one of the NewLanders who came for a gig to Germany. Great stuff! Like your songs a lot. Mike Stout from Pittsbirgh (don't know if you know him) will be here playing on a youth festival in three weeks, too. I got a couple of your CDs - will pass them around. Do you have a German distibutor? Cheers, Thorsten ARTIST FORMERLY KNOWN AS 'DR JOE' - Monday, April 16th, 2007 6:06 PM THOGUHT ABOUT YOU TODAY AND WAS SURE ID FIND YOU ON THE WEB. LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE DOING GREAT. I WENT BACK TO LAW SCHOOL AFTER MY STARVING FOLKSINGER'S TOUR. CHECK OUT MY WEBSITE [MA-OUI.COM] AND GIVE A CALL 978 921 4100 Bob Lacey - Friday, April 13th, 2007 8:51 AM Annie- Great to hear from you. I think I gave you an incomplete email (forgetting the 104 on my new gmail account). Sorry. Hope you stay as well as you sound. Bob Ron Franz - Friday, April 6th, 2007 10:03 AM Good Morning! The Northern Valley Labor Council, Grand Forks, ND, is planning a 50th anniversary celebration to take place between May 1, 2007 and April 30, 2008. One of the considerations is to sponsor a labor-oriented concert. Would you let me know what your fees and expenses would be if you were to perform in Grand Forks for an evening? Also, I was informed that at one time you worked with/performed for school children in our area. If that is an option, I wonder what form it might take, and what the additional costs might be. I will look forward to hearing from you. Oh, I heard of you from Mark Froemke, President of the Labor Council, and listened to your sample on the Labor Heritage Foundation's web site.--Ron Franz Shari C. - Wednesday, March 28th, 2007 5:48 PM Anne, I would like to thank you for coming to the University of North Florida today. I found your performance to be so thought provoking and honest. You messages are often not taught in school. I hope you can come back again to speak to the students. I wish we had more time to talk and ask questions. Thanks again. kate gilligan-greer - Sunday, March 25th, 2007 3:38 PM Anne, I see that you will be playing at the coffeehouse in Andover on April 7. You are very welcome to stay with us while you are in Massachusetts. We will be rounding up some fans to hear you. Evan's Mom Jeff Farkas - Tuesday, March 20th, 2007 10:06 PM Hello Anne, you sing it like it is. The German Bastards at BASF(Monaca-PA) want to take away our pension. The Company is posting record profits and telling us that we are the most profitable site in North America, however the benifits provided to salary vs union are as different as night and day. Pay is one issue, benifits are a family issue. Why should my family not get the same benifits as salary employees, are we of a lower class? PLEASE HELP Diane Long - Sunday, March 4th, 2007 3:22 PM Saw you at the University of Rhode Island this fall and have been enjoying your CD since. I sent this to Bill McKibben at his Step it up 2007 website: I have listened to the songs on your website and although they may be fine music most of them don't have the compelling simplicity of the best union and anti-war songs. I suggest you ask Anne Feeney to contribute. Her album, "Have You been to Jail for Justice?" shows her ability to convey passion without slipping into silliness and to make irony catchy. I hope you will consider writing for the anti-global warming campaign because it is the poorest who suffer first and worst. Yours truly, Diane Long Sharon E. Streeter - Saturday, March 3rd, 2007 11:49 AM Anne - Connie forwarded your blog/e-mail. I signed up. Unbeknownst to you, I am including you as an "inspiration' in my soon-to-be published book george & dick THE BOOK. It will have poems and cartoons and lyrics and chords to go with george & dick THE CD! You said, "write your own tunes," and so I did. I haven't stopped. You also introduced me to Prince Myshkins, whom I adore. I still do not consider myself a musician - I'm a writer who does musical "readings!" but I'm getting more comfortable with playing and singing my stuff. Hope you are well! Sharon Stephen Faulkner - Friday, March 2nd, 2007 3:25 AM Greetings from Joburg South Africa where we (Jane my partner and I)work in the democratic South African Trade Union Movement. We spent four months in Washington in 2005 and sadly missed you, and so you will just have to come South! Sure lots of comrades would love your work, and you would learn some awesome songs I am sure. Very moved by your Irish visit. A cause very dear to our hearts. Have sent a poem by way of saying thanks, from our stay in the States. Most welcome to use in any way or delete! Comradely greetings to you and all fellow travellers. Listening to American Workers (´Don´t talk to me about that ´s´ word.

Gary E. Andrews - Monday, February 19th, 2007 6:18 PM I listened to all your songs on SundownSongs and Soundclick. Enjoyed them thoroughly. Anyone who'll piss on Ronald "Milhous" Reagan's shoes is alright with me. ("Milhous," Nixon in a Reagan bag) Judy Gorman is from New Jersey. I saw her here in Portsmouth Ohio and she played some good activist songs, reciting one brilliant piece, I think it was "Take It Easy, But Take It," she attributed to Woody Guthrie. She was selling on CDBaby. I don't know if that piece was on her recordings. Dylan's Chronicles book talked about Joe Hill's last words, sort of, written to a pal before they killed him, "Scatter my ashes everywhere but Utah. I wouldn't want to be caught dead in Utah." You've probably read/heard his Little Red Songbook. Dylan said he thought that "Scatter my ashes..." line would make a good refrain for a song. I thought I'd research Hill, Hilstrom, and maybe write one myself. Well, the muse arrived before I could do the research so I wrote the song without it. The Columbus Folk Music Society (Col. Ohio) has a festival coming up in April I think. It would be great if you were there. I see from your calendar you're on the move. Keep fighting the good fight. Somehow we need to lead the mis-leaders back to intelligent decision-making, advocating symbiosis between companies and people, instead of 'corporatism,' Mussolini's synonym for fascism, a collusion between companies and the state. Peace to you and yours. Keep up the good work. Michael Goodman - Friday, January 12th, 2007 7:39 AM A local activist just told me about your concert here in Van BC Jan 25 and we are trying to advertise it. However I do not see it on the tour schedule. Are you at the railway club on the 25th. Would you like a place to stay, your own room clean show and five meals? Please advise. former Us citizen and war resister. Cheers, Michael Goodman Ps who is sponsoring your concert? Barry - Monday, January 8th, 2007 4:04 PM Hi Anne, I enjoyed your performance very much at Toronto's Free Times Cafe last year. A woman singer preceded you on stage, and she goes by the name Fellow Worker. Could you please tell me her real name and how to contact her by email and phone? Thanks very much for your kind help. In solidarity, Barry Weisleder, Toronto DONALD CALVIN - Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007 12:55 PM Dear Anne: Just last month, obtained my AOL account. Truly had never been "online" (at least not of consequence)before. Had to do it. No choice. Held off for so long in fear of viruses. Many ultra sensitive documents (you probably don't remember, but - besides working for a living - I do the civil rights work). It doesn't allow for social life. No, I haven't forgotten you, and Yes, I still love you. Received Mr. Chandler's "mail" and, as I note your tour dates don't match up, wondering if the two of you are not playing together anymore. Hope this not to be the case. Please give me a call - I never have time to check these mails, but wanted you to know I am still out here fighting the good fight - you bet! - and will until they find and execute me. You can call from anywhere (I think), and no charge (the best part). I have left the number on one of these other things (info update? - I'm already lost, and need to buy a book), but will also leave it here so you can call - do it! Calvin (that's what everyone calls me - except my sisters - you choose): 1 (800) 600 3827, extension "00" - I tried for "007" but apparently some poser already took that. Well, I will just have to bide my time ... until I find him at least. Bye for now. Please do call! I hate this form of communication, but would love to hear from you. Hope otherwise all is well. Much love, Calvin Dwight Young - Thursday, December 28th, 2006 4:31 AM Hi. I'm in a labor union that works for Tate and Lyle in Dayton Oh. and a friend of mine said he heard a song on the radio that mentioned Tate and Lyle. He thought it was 'War on the Workers', but after research I found that Tate and Lyle was not mentioned. Is there a song out there that does mention this? Barb Clementi - Monday, December 11th, 2006 9:54 PM Hi Anne - was that really you last Friday at the Rally on The Capitol grounds for the Employee Free Choice Act? Paul - Wednesday, November 15th, 2006 11:59 PM As a matter of fact, I believe Brian Hill is on staff at Belmont - Deputy Conductor or some such title. David Salazar - Saturday, November 4th, 2006 11:50 AM Hello Anne Feeney, I have seen you perform at SDSU twice already and you are very good at what you do. I know I agree with you. Anyways, I'm in a criminal justice class having to do a research paper on a topic of my choosing. i chose Race Relations in San Diego. I have done my own research and have my own info, but if you feel there's anything I should look at or focus on in my paper, let me know. Have a great day. ~ David S. ann miller frances - Friday, November 3rd, 2006 11:23 PM !People Come Together in Support of Oaxaca! !SPREAD THE WORD!

They don't seem to know anything about this. I thought I'd better tell you. You might want to give them a call! Cheers Dave Wells - Tuesday, September 19th, 2006 11:51 PM I took part in the Pete Seeger birthday celebration at the Bloomfield Bridge Tavern in 2005. Several people have told me that I should send him the song I wrote for the occasion, but I haven't been able to find his mailing address. If you have it and are willing to pass it along, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Dave Wells Leo Granados - Saturday, September 16th, 2006 11:32 PM Anne. I am looking for Brian Hill the percussionist in google and his name led to your page, do you know if he went to Belmont College in Nashville? if you know anything please let me know. thank you Berk Snow - Saturday, September 16th, 2006 3:55 AM Hi, Anne; I was just on Nick Annis' website, copying the lyrics to, "In The Beginning", and I saw that you're up in the top of the Links page. I immediately realized that you'd be a perfect artist to cover Nick's song. I'd love to hear you perform it, if you haven't already been on to it. I know you could do it awesome justice! Many blessings to you in your travels, Berk, host, Wild River Radio, airing on KMUD-FM / KMUE-FM / KLAI-FM, Redwood Community Radio, in Humboldt, Mendocino, Trinity & Del Norte Counties on the Northcoast of California.

If so where are you playing dates and venues. Can let people know. Roger - Thursday, August 3rd, 2006 8:14 AM I first found you through David Rovics and was hoping you'd be over this side of the pond soon. I see you're in Ireland later this year - any chance of some dates in the UK or should I start checking out flights to Dublin? Bea Dewing - Saturday, July 15th, 2006 12:12 AM "It was for this, thought Mrs. Miniver as they walked towards the car, that one had boiled the milk for their bottles, and washed their hands before lunch, and not let them eat with a spoon which had been dropped on the floor." Michael O'Hara - Monday, July 10th, 2006 4:27 PM Hey Anne, Thanks so much for your wonderful support of us at Mariposa.

Ciao, Patty Dennis Wiancko - Sunday, July 2nd, 2006 7:39 PM Anne I work on the media crew at Oregon Country Fair. Last year I made some pix (not very many) of Chris playing on Main Stage with band. You requested copies from me, offering a CD as a bribe, I guess. (Live from the Wholly Stolen Empire. Nice Work.) Now that the 2006 Fair is upon us, I'm scrambling to catch up, and made a CD of the picture files for you. Are you coming to the Fair? Do you want me to mail them? Do you even still want the pix? Sorry I'm so tardy with them. Let me know. All the Best to You and Yours Dennis Dan Feeney - Thursday, June 29th, 2006 1:43 PM I grew up in Steubenville, Ohio. 35 mi. W. of Pittsburgh.

Anthony (Joe) and Robin Jones - Monday, June 12th, 2006 7:14 AM Anne: I always wondered what the hell happened to you. We ended up in Charleston, South Carolina. 4 kids I granddaughter. If you are ever down this way give us a call we would love to see you and you would probably impress the hell out of my oldest daugther, who is before the baby quite the activist in her own right. Take care and keep up the good work. Do you still sing Irish ballads? Anthony janet bates - Saturday, May 27th, 2006 2:04 PM Anne I am making a list of people who are signed up for your concert and I cannot remember the name of the guy you are traveling with. I have searched your website to find the name you are calling this tour, I did see it somewhere, but have forgotten where I saw it. I think it is unlikely I will have to advertize in any way, as we have a very large group, but I need perhaps to send out the link to your website (which I have ) and the guy your are traveling with. Forgive my unorganizedness,...I am also working on a cd, so am frazzled janet bates Casey Tibbs - Friday, May 26th, 2006 11:27 AM Hey Anne, I didn't know you had a website on Myspace. Anyway I added you as a friend and I'd be honored if you approved it. My pic is of a squirel playing harp. Anyway, I also added one of your songs to my myspace. I'm sorry for bothering you here but when I tried to send you a message on their it didn't work. I'm sorry I never called you back either. Stupid me. I lost your #. Well anyway I love ya. And as always your amazing and one of my heros Dorinda Miller - Pres of Champaign County, IL AFL-CIO - Friday, May 26th, 2006 11:22 AM I have received information from Belden Fields at the Univ of IL that you might have an open slot for Labor Day 2006. If so, I would be interested in hearing from you regarding your possibly attending our annual event and cost for such. We appreciate all the support you have given to Unions in Illinois. My contact number is 217-979-1005. Becky Spoon - Monday, May 15th, 2006 1:51 PM When you are in Champaign-Urbana this Saturday, May 20, we are having a house party/fundraiser for the best, most progressive, pro-labor candidate for U.S. Congress since Paul Wellstone. His name id David Gill. I would put his URL here for you but I just did that and ended up having to start typing all over again from the beginning. Anyway, the first letter was nicer and better but now I have to cut to the chase: We'll be at 1 Main Street, Ste. #404 in Champaign at Ekow Yankah's and hope you'll join us after your concert. Ekow's cell phone number is 917-664-0715 and email address is ekoyankah@gmail.com He says everyone is welcome. We hope you and yours will join us. We should still be going strong after 10 p.m., and you of course will not be expected to donate anything, just hopefully be able to grace us with your presence and maybe bring a few new faces along with to meet the best candidate running for office in the entire United States (truly). Too bad we didn't know about your concert when we made plans for David Gill. Hope to see you, Becky Spoon 217-345-6385 David Morrison - Tuesday, April 25th, 2006 12:38 AM Anne, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your performance at the Roots Festival in San Diego yesterday.

Lately I've just been playing guitar myself. Learning a couple of your songs. I like "Have you been to jail for Justice" the best. Infact, that was the first song I learned. Well I'll quit taking up your time. Miss you Jack Feeney - Thursday, March 30th, 2006 6:33 AM Anne, Found your site doing a 'Feeney' websearch - I'm in Cork Ireland and I'm a writer.

I want you to know my wife and my friends and I truly enjoyed your music Feb.18 @ Thoreaus Good for Something in Stafford, Texas. I'm not kidding when I say you are an inspiration to me and everyone you meet. A little about me, I am an organized electrician out of IBEW local 716 in Houston. I immediately became involved in my Union, which helped me become a full time Organizer on staff. I started helping Ron Gonyea out over a year ago with his radio program, Voices@Work on KPFT FM, and I have participated at many rallies and street heats. I am going to college to major in Economics and I plan for a career that will allow me to promote working people. I want to be a part of the solution to elevate the quality of life for all working people and your music can help! I hope you are available June 3, 2006 to attend a labor summitt in Houston at the CWA Local 6222 Union Hall. We are anticipating at least 12 different Unions with a total of about 150-250 participants. Nick Lampson, ex-congressman to replace Tom Delay in District 22, will be our keynote speaker along with 2 other professors from the University of Houston. Your music, your experiences, your stories and your passion I hope will inspire the flame in each of us Union members to blaze forward a new direction in the Union movement. So much is happening right now in Houston, with our 1st Union Hotel, the Hilton and UniteHere representing 500+ employees, 5,000+ janitors negotiating a contract with SEIU, 7,000+ Continental workers and school bus drivers fighting for a contract with TWU and 10,000+ city of Houston employees deciding what Union they want to represent them (AFSCME or SEIU). I can try to set up other events for you with either one of the other Unions. Please say you can attend our Labor Summitt and PLEASE tell me what you want to make it worth your while. I don't know where you will be prior to the meeting and I don't want to guess, either. In solidarity, Turner Wright 832 473-2824 atuuschaaw - Friday, February 24th, 2006 5:35 AM Hey Anne, cruisin' around and thought I'd stop in and say HI!

I know Oklahoma isn't know for being a liberal strong hold but this is as close as it gets! this is the coolest music festival around and i think it would be great to see you on the main stage! I meet Randy Norman the president of the Woody Guthrie Coalition and as it turns out he meet my sister Kim at one of your concerts at the Blue Door in OKC!

Worth area be sure and let me know. I see you're doing well! David Crabtree - Wednesday, January 4th, 2006 4:41 PM In light of the news out of West Virginia, I pulled out some old Merle Travis. The Lone Survivor learned that it is "Dark As a Dungeon". I found what I was looking for, "The Browder Explosion". It is a an apt lament for the 12 in WV and the thousands of others who have been killed by bad luck or just plain greed fueled Operator negligence. Of course you have to follow that up with "The Harlan County Boys". Our hearts and prayers are with "The Miners Wife" (wives). I'll finish with a dirge and a remembrance for that particular breed called Coal Miner "Black Gold" . You may know better songs and if so sing them for the workers and keep their families in your hearts.

Could there be a connection Daniel E. Moore - Tuesday, December 20th, 2005 1:09 AM Dear Anne, Like yourself I am a hellraiser, peace/labor activist/USAF veteran from Newton Falls, Ohio. I am also an amateur stand up comic and songwriter. Several years ago I wrote a very crowd stirring revolutionary patriotic song called,"We the People." Following is a few lines: All you politicians out there in D.C., You better listen up to the land of the free, We're all pissed off and madder than hell, We're gonna start ringing our liberty bell. Come on We the People,now don't be shy. If your tired of getting robbed, tired of just gettin' by. Let's go one and all with our heads held high. It's time we get a piece of the American pie. You call yourselves leaders, How can this be, when you're all out of touch with reality. All out of touch you don't know what's real. When's the last time you worried about your next meal. All you poiticians we're in a blind rage. We'd like to see you livin' on minimum wage!!! There's more... But when I sang this the crowd went wild. I would appreciate your consideration in helping to share this song with others. I also have some good original political jokes that you could use. Call me at 330-872-1454 ASAP to talk further. PS: I play a mean Orange Blossom Special on the accordian. In peace, Daniel E. Moore Paul B. de Mesquita - Tuesday, December 20th, 2005 12:49 AM Hi Anne, Love to have you as our guest at the Annual Honors Colloquium next fall at the University of Rhode Island. Each Tuesday evening of the entire semester will be dedicated to the Music of Social Change -- On behalf of our faculty and students we wish to honor you and your work for its significant contribution to social justice causes. Please reply and tell us that you can book in with us. The colloquium would pay your usual fee and travel expenses and allow you one evening on our campus to show students how to stand up for something and raise hell for a good cause. A colleague of mine Art Stein recently met you at School of Americas demonstration and said to say hi. I know that you have been out of the country so I hope that we will hear from you as soon as you return. Peace and Love, Paul (AAUP) CHUCK G - Friday, December 16th, 2005 9:46 PM in reading your blog, a couple of interesting things to note...re: school of the americas...i was associated with this infamous school when it was still in the Panama Canal Zone., as a member attached to the 8th Special Forces Group, of course before the withdrawal of troops from that country.. also, and just as important if not more so....as a member of boilermakers, located less than 100 miles from local 484, would you believe, our local has done nothing to help its brother local ? it is not discussed, there has not been any mention of helping financially, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH TODAYS LABOR MOVEMENT...HOW IN THE HELL CAN THIS BE ?? WHO IS FAILING US ?? THE MEMBERSHIP, UP TO THE LEADERSHIP, BOTH LOCALLY AND AT INTERNATIONAL HEADQUARTERS... hell, we probably share the same international rep, to me, it is discusting....how do you shake up this people ? (maybe if anne feeney came to a union local meeting, and grab the members by the collar, and said, " look you assholes", these are serious times... or to quote someone infamous " and then they came for me, " sincerely, and love your work, have seen you at blackburn college in carlinville, IL...and have a cd.. love you c goodin Andy Yalch - Monday, December 12th, 2005 10:49 PM Hi Anne I heard you were trying to contact me a few months ago.

Lis Fiekowsky heard you play a few months ago, and I told her that I'd follow up. Hope all is well. Your web site looks great, BTW. Comradely, Tim Yeager Treasurer UAW Local 2320 Seelan - Saturday, November 26th, 2005 10:24 PM awesome and inspiring. keep fueling the good fight! Micheal Feeney - Wednesday, October 26th, 2005 9:16 PM Anne, I´m Irish and work with indigenous peoples in Brazil since 1983.It must run in the blood!Keep up the good work. Karen - Wednesday, October 26th, 2005 6:41 PM Hey Anne, I just ransacked my address book and cell phone but can't find any of your numbers...they must be at home somewhere but I'm still at work. Send me your numbers at the above email, s'il vous plait. Love & Kisses, Karen Ann Feeney Blandford - Wednesday, October 26th, 2005 11:19 AM Anne: I did a google search on my name and you appeared. I was born in 1948. I think we lead parallel lives. I am a paralegal working at a local law firm. My boss, Greg Garrison, prosecuted Mike Tyson here in Indy. You have a very interesting life/style. You're making a difference and the working class needs a voice. Good luck in your numerous endeavors. Ann Ron Mann - Monday, October 24th, 2005 9:36 AM Hey Girl, missed you at kerrville. Have you heard about the wallmart movie? Our local is hosting a showing on Nov 17th. 6;00pm at the Ruta Maya in Austin. Hope to see many kerverts raisin some hell. Howard Egerman - Tuesday, October 18th, 2005 3:39 PM Anne I am an AFGE Health and Safety Rep and it was a privilege to see you at Nina's house in Oakland. I mentioned then how much I appreciate it Punch It In as a carpal tunnel victim. Tommoroow I am doing training for our health and safety joint committee and will play both Punch It In and the Sick Note.All union reps should be required to listen to you. In solidiarity,HOward. Fergie - Sunday, October 16th, 2005 8:20 PM Hi Annie - Hey, I see that Fontobonne is having a reunion on November 26, at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church in Mt. Lebo. They are looking for people from Class of 1968, including you. Personally, I think it would be a riot to see you there to provide some entertainment and to make the nuns wonder why they got into this line of work in the first place. Tena Battefeld - Wednesday, October 12th, 2005 2:49 PM I don't imagine you remember me but I'm with the locked-out 484 in Meredosia. We walked the line together monday morning. I want you to know how much you and Evan have raised our spirits. We discussed a few things that morning and I want to Know how I can start a few of your ideas in action. I guess I really need to get a hold of Evan Greer, could you pass him my e-mail address or my phone. Thanks and yes I'm union forever. Love your website and your cd. Sisters forever in solidarity. Tena Battefeld Tommy - Tuesday, October 11th, 2005 4:44 PM Anne, A big "Howdy" from Camp Barefoot We missed your smile, fantastic songs and wisdom this year in Kerrville. Hope to see you there next spring. Health and Happiness to you, Tommy brian altman - Monday, October 10th, 2005 1:33 PM Let me pay my respects for your accomplishments and your Humanity. I am overwhelmed by your experiences. I spoke with you at the Mother Jones dinner and Monument ceremony at Mt. Olive. Thank you for bringing your talented sidekick, Evan Greer. Please consider Depleted Uranium as an environmental song topic.It may be hard to rhyme,but it't so dangerous we had all better be talking about it.I think Bush gets it to Haliburton for free; then it's sold to the dept of defense to be used as projectiles. The radiation is killing our troops and destroying the Environment Mike Hoffman - Saturday, October 1st, 2005 12:52 PM I just discovered you. Thank you, Anne for doing with your life, what you're doing. Susan Rimby - Saturday, October 1st, 2005 10:19 AM Could you email me about your rates and availability in April ?

If I can do anything let me hear from ya! Peace & Justice/ml...see ya in DC in September! Kate Baker - Sunday, September 11th, 2005 10:00 AM Hi Anne~ I just wanted to say thank-you again for the wonderful inspiration that you give with your music. I am Tylers mom, I met you at the Summer Institute for women in Oregon and then again at the LERC summer school. Thanks so much for writing him he was elated. Your letter inspierd quite a long disscussion about unions (I am thankful for that). He said that I have to buy him new stamps so that he can write to you because "I'm not using my Anne Feeney stamps...they are special!" My in-laws are on strike currently at Boeing, and your music plays there daily (Tyler and I lent them one of our cds). Keep up the good work we are looking forward to seeing you again soon. In solidarity, Tyler and Kate Rich Egeland - Sunday, August 14th, 2005 7:28 PM I'm a student at the National Labor College of the George Meany Center for labor studies and bought the Union Maid CD at the bookstore and I love it! I'm also a member of Teamsters Local 705 in Chicago and have been a labor activist and steward for 11 years now. Good show and keep on going. Mark Senick - Friday, July 29th, 2005 1:35 AM Sept. 1 in SF.. I'll have dinner with you.. if it's just the two of us :) Mark david grace - Wednesday, July 27th, 2005 7:52 PM Hi Anne, We have a radio station at and will be glad to play your material if you send us a copy. Check out our site for the address and phone #. I videotaped you and Chandler at the SF LaborFest a few years ago and that's all I have to play. Ron Grabowski - Monday, July 18th, 2005 12:14 AM A name from the past - and I thought living in Coos Bay was so far off the beaten path no one would ever come here. I was part of the counter culture in Minneaplois/St. Paul from 1962 to 1979 and knew the likes of Scott Alrick, Dakota Dave, John Kolstad, Spider John Koener and on and on. We met very briefly way back then. At least you will get to see the pristeen south Oregon coast before Mr. Peabody's CBM drilling hauls it all away. Ron Ziysah - Wednesday, July 6th, 2005 10:59 AM hi anne! wanted to wish you a belated happy birthday. was nice to have something worthwhile to celebrate this Canada Day. I just pretended all those red and white flags and firewroks were in your honour :) good-luck with wherever you're at, and have a fulfilling year! ziysah (peterborough, ON) Shannon Murray - Tuesday, June 28th, 2005 2:33 PM Hey Anne! I found your music through a recommendation by Dan Bern. I was looking for political socially remarkable minded places to play on the west coast, and Dan suggested I contact Chris and I found your music linked on his web site. Just letting you know I really appreciate your music. I saw Utah Phillips play in Canada last summer and have been hooked on labor songs ever since. Good luck and I hope our paths will meet someday. Shannon Murray Mike - Monday, June 13th, 2005 6:41 PM I'm a member of the Madison chapter of Food Not Bombs, which meets on saturdays at the park where you played for "Folk at One" this past week. First of all, I'd just like to say that I enjoyed your set. However, I thought you might find it somewhat troubling to know that the organization that put on the event has been harassing us and trying to kick us out of the park (we were pushed back away from our normal spot on State Street last week). The woman in charge has yet to give us a clear reason as to why she finds our presence there so offensive (except for "Well, we have the permit so we have the right," as though having the power to do something qualifies as a legitimate reason); however, some of us suspect that she finds the crowd we draw- ie, homeless people, punk-rock kids and African-Americans- intimidating to the primarily middle-class audience who show up with food from SubWay or McDonald's instead of eating what we offer for free to whoever wants it. I'm not criticizing you, I just figured you might like to know this. Again, great set on Saturday. Barb Linds - Monday, June 6th, 2005 3:14 PM Wonderful time on Friday. I spoke with Paul about the OPSEU convention. Can you hold April 21st, 2006. Paul has to talk with our president about bringing you up to sing at our awards banquet. I think we could arrange something else for the weekend as well, if that works for you. Have fun at the Labor Arts Exchange and congratulations on the Joe Hill award! Barb Linds Ronnie Dee - Sunday, May 22nd, 2005 8:51 PM Hi Anne; I met you about a year and a half ago at our friend Hedy Hilburn's funeral. You asked me about the song I wrote: "Sit Back and Play Your Kazoo". You gave me your card and I said that I would send you a copy, but in the ensuing months, I lost your card. If you would e-mail me a mailing address, I will send you a copy. You thought that Hedy had co-wrote it with me and I said no, but I recall what happened. Hedy had asked if she could add a union related verse or two to it and I said, "yes." We still miss her around here. Thanks for your time and keep up the good work. Ronnie Dee Rob Lytle - Friday, May 20th, 2005 4:56 AM Hi Anne! Please put me on yor e-mail list so I can keep up with what you are up to. Hoping to see you at Kerrville! Kym Shilpetski - Wednesday, May 4th, 2005 5:36 AM Hi. I stumbled upon your site while searching for folk singers. The bit about Utah Phillips caught my eye as I am an avid fan thanks to Ani DiFranco. Anyway, I'm sure you're busy so I would just like to say I loved the music and I think what you're doing is awesome. I saw something on your site about BLoomsburg which is where I went to college and I hope to catch you there (if I didn't miss it, gotta look back). My girlfriend is her union's representative and will be all about you once I show her your site. Keep on rockin in the free world. - Wednesday, May 4th, 2005 1:40 AM Sorry. I was in the steelworkers union, local 1834, I can't even remember, it was an experience that left me somewhat jaded in regard to unions. Not all of them, just that one. Or perhaps, the individuals who comprised it. In any case there aren't many positive hellraising activites in my neighborhood because I live in Squirrel Hill Actually it's all right here. And it's only another year! Safety to you in your travels, Andrea A. Jones - Wednesday, May 4th, 2005 1:28 AM Great birthday party and terrific show tonight! I was going to buy something on way out-no cash-so I purchased something online but I would have sworn there was a DVD (?) if so could you please let me know. Also what was the name of the song that Jack ??? sang and what is the name of the CD it is on? Thanks. P.S. Good cake. Greg Denham - Friday, April 29th, 2005 2:17 PM Anne This a copy of a E-mail that I just sent to the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. Will the Production of Wizard of Oz at the Byham be using local musician or a karaoke machine? I maen sinfonia. If you are using musicians I will purcahse tickets for my son and myself. If not I will not buy tickets. Anne I have enjoyed your music for many years. I would listen to at the jam session at Nooners on Penn & Main Street duing the mid to late 80's Keep the Musician Union Going. John Shalanski, DSW, AFGE Local #1699 - Friday, April 29th, 2005 12:28 PM Anne: Thanks so much for your wonderful concert in Wilkes-Barre last night. I wish there was more of an audience, but your enthusiasm & spirit was apparent & I was very impressed with your committment. Also, love your voice & guitar work. Peace, John Chris Lyons - Tuesday, April 26th, 2005 8:14 PM Anne, We're very jazzed about the idea of making your July 18th concert in the San Lorenzo Valley a fundraiser for the Women Ventures Project (program that trains and places women in non-traditional jobs most of which are in partnership with the local building trade union shops). Great way to bring in some money for this valuable program, bring more folks in to hear you, and have a great time. Let me know that you received this and we'll get going on the planning details. Thanks and looking forward to it. Chris Mary Dodd-Birmingham - Tuesday, April 26th, 2005 10:10 AM Hello, How is it going. Listen Amber is in jail for direct action against the logging of the Biscuit area. It is her second arrest in this matter and She has refused to pay bail so will be in there a while. It would mean a lot to her if you would sent her a letter. I would really appreciate it Ann. Let me know the next time you are in Southern Oregon and we can set you up with a gig in Takilma. Take care. Mary Birmingham-Dodd Stan Feeney - Thursday, April 21st, 2005 9:59 PM Just searching the surname and hit your page. When and where are you coming to Ontario? Will have to look for you. regards Stan Jenny Peshut - Tuesday, April 12th, 2005 5:27 PM Dear Anne, Wooo Hooo! You are playing for us [IWW Milwaukee GMB] at Puddler's Hall at 8:00 p.m. May 6th. What do you need for set-up or otherwise? Do you need housing? We understand the IWW Madison GMB is paying you. Please confirm and get back to us at your convenience. Ciao, Jenny [a.k.a. Sophie] Benwen Lopez - Monday, April 4th, 2005 5:25 PM Hey Ann, Revolutionary Greetings from India! My name is Benwen Lopez a freelance journalist from India. I am friend of your friend David Rovics and it is through him that I have heard about you and your wonderful works. Now I also promote music of social significance performed by various artists. I was wondering if we could tie up and I could promote your music here in India... I could list you on my upcoming website of my network organization Left Media Initiatives. If you are interested it would be great if you could send me some of your music on cds....I would not mind the bearing the shipping cost only as I doubt I would be able to purchase the cds as it would be expensive for me but I guese you could make some exceptions for genuine people and if you could send me some music before 1st May as that is the Workers Day in my state. Well hoping to hear from you shortly. I embrace you with my revolutionary fervor Benwen Lopez Bob Hofer - Saturday, March 26th, 2005 10:58 PM I'm a union postal worker, worked with Judy Johnson in Miami, but moved to Gainesville in '91. I've enjoyed your music several times during the past, well I don't remember the first time I saw ya, but the last time was the APWU state convention three years ago. I bought two tickets for your visit to G-ville last month but couldnt make it. I'm very worried about the direction of our country and the disappearance of too many union jobs during the past four years. Anyway, you and your music are a real treasure for us unionists. George Fedoronko - Friday, March 18th, 2005 3:34 PM Hi Anne. It's been a long time. I was surfing today and found your website. I'm glad to see your success. Looks like you've done a few recordings since we played together. That was 18 years ago ago! I think of you often. Every once in awhile I put those albums we did on the stereo and make my daughters listen. What a time that was! Keep up the good work. God bless Peter Kastner - Saturday, March 5th, 2005 7:45 AM Okay, Anne -- I'm hooked. It's been along time since I learned a song someone else wrote: I'm learning Been to Jail for Justice. It's great to be in that state again, where you really like the song,and you play it over and over, getting the changes down and the strum up to speed. The CD player sits at my computer workstation, where I'm editing video, in this case a (long) video letter I'm sending to Ray Korona and Ted Warmbrand, a history of music in my life (mostly folk ā la P. Seeger, but not all). The files are very big (gigs of video)_ and take a while to load. While they're loading, I pick up my battered Silvertone, press Track 1 on your CD, and go to work, playing along with Feeney, appreciating and enjoying the song more each time I play it -- words'll come next. My idea of a good time. Thanks for the music. Peter Kastner Peter Kastner - Friday, March 4th, 2005 8:10 AM Hi, Anne -- good to be snuggled into your mailing list at last --and I like the website. I had the pleasure of meeting you at MANY VOICES this past January, when I started a spontaneous sing at the CD table, and heard this excellent voice joining in on my left side -- you. You paid me the compliment of asking me to join your labor-sing workshop, and it was a treat to do so --I sang my ENRON song (search KASTNER, "before2004", on tompaine.com -- it's called "A Song About Greed." ). We swapped CDs --and I've just had the pleasure of listening to yours (Been to Jail starts it, and The Internationale the closer. Lovely! Though a sixties lefty/folkie, I'm new to the progressive song movement,and am greatly enjoying discovering it -- and discovering Feeney. I know you're on the move,but I'd love to hear your reaction to my songs, if you can still find the CD (if not, I'll wing another one your way [address?],along with a copy of an interesting video letter I'm sending Ray Korona and Ted Warmbrand). The songs are personal and politcal both -- ENRON --is dedicated to Joe Hill, and written in an echo of his style. I know you'll appreciate that. So, my dear colleague,so good to be listening to/learning about you and your music. Let me know if I can send you a fresh CD (Peter Kastner At The Free Times). I loved singing with you at the CD table. Yours in musical struggle, Peter Kastner Amy Berlin - Friday, January 28th, 2005 3:10 PM Hi mommy! I am sitting in an internet cafe, listening to your music online. There are not enough words in the English dictionary for me to describe to you how very much I love you! I am so proud to have a mother with so much strength, love and courage. You are my hero, mentor and best friend. I love you so much! I hope you are happy and smiling! Mike Deegan - Thursday, January 6th, 2005 5:34 PM Hi Anne, I just got the announcement of your Florida tour. I hope I can make it to the Homestead date. If you can get some time to yourself, you're more than welcome to stay with me in Key West for a rest. I've got lots of room, and nobody visiting this month. Best wishes, Mike FUTURE OF THE UNION - Friday, December 3rd, 2004 2:24 AM Great website and music. Come visit ours and join the movement! http://www.futureoftheunion.com Michael Filipiak (a/k/a Peace Seeker) - Sunday, November 21st, 2004 12:51 AM As a long time activist it feels really warm and hopeful to have found out that there is someone (YOU) out there singing songs, not about trivia and glitz, but about real issues and things of value to the life on earth. I send my support to you and best wishes for you and your singing for all of us. Thank you, Mike ps...I'm currenty in Milwaukee, WI and heard you on Democracy Now webcast, I'm an activist, veteran psychotherapist, former college instructor, veteran, consultant and caregiver for an aged mother - well those are the highlights - and mostly a concerned human being. Robert Feeney - Wednesday, November 17th, 2004 9:54 AM Anne: I came across your web site by accident, and I am totally disappointed that there is a "Feeney" out there who I feel is lost in the wilderness. Hopefully, your a "Feeney" by name only, and not by blood. I think that you should find a time machine, and go back to the 60's as you would fit right in with the likes of Kerry & Fonda. Please Anne, do the Feeney clan a favor, and change your last name to "Fenny." Dave Peter - Sunday, November 14th, 2004 9:07 AM Hi Anne, I've heard your inspiring music and just stopped by. I grew up new Pittsburgh, in Steubenville, Ohio where my father was a steel worker and I was for awhile (USWA Local 1190). Now I am steward and trustee for SEIU Local 1107 in Las Vegas. Do you ever have any plans to come to Las Vegas. Labor put forth alot of effort here as a battleground state for Kerry. I worked with MoveOn and ACT and my local - we won in southern Nevada but lost the state. Keep singing the message!! Bruce Poppe - Thursday, November 11th, 2004 11:06 AM Stopped in to your site to get the CD "Have You Been to Jail for Justice." Hope it doesn't apply to me in January, but we'll see. We didn't lose, Ohio was stolen--check the exit polls. See you in Kerrville next time, unless you want to play a house concert in Houston before then. Sign me "P*ssed off in Houston and angry as H*ll." Berk - Wild River Radio Folk - Sunday, November 7th, 2004 1:07 PM Howdy, Anne; While sitting around the radio with some friends the day after the election, we were talking about you & your music & your life's work. The next song that the KMUD deejay, Shyla Blue, sent out over the airwaves was "We Do The Work" - the e.s.p. request line fills another syncronistic reminder that we are all connected in ways that few of us understand. Why won't this work when we try to do it on purpose? Appreciating the mystery, and looking for signs while traveling, working, & playing along this road. See you in Montreal. Much love, Berk P.S. The #'s don't crunch on the vote counts. Ripped off again! Stan the Liberal Man -- Stan Swart - Sunday, November 7th, 2004 8:45 AM Anne, Yes, it's Stan the radio man from Jacksonville. If you haven't seen the good news from FL, Proposition 5 (state minimun wage)passed by 72% of the vote! Won in every county! Obviously, that's about all the good news. Advice: stay in PA, your life-long base, and work the midwest from there. Also, focus on morals -- I was shocked at the depth of the gay marriage hatred, since it was not on the ballot in FL. If you have the time, you can alwyas call in on the Andy Johnson show and give everyone a lift. Details: Show: "DowntoBusinessAndyJohnson" On-Stream: www.downtobusiness.org Toll-Free #: 877-900-9667 Times: 8-10 PM M, 7-9 PM T-F My part: 8-9 PM Wednesday! Keep up the good work, Stan Tom Swiss - Friday, November 5th, 2004 6:28 PM Hi Anne. Hope to get out to see you and Chris in Rockville tomorrow. Been listening to "Flying Poetry Circus" to help kill the pain. Some post-election thoughts: http://infamous.net/election2004msg.html You guys ought to check out the New Deal Cafe in Greenbelt MD sometime, I think you'd find a lot of fans. www.newdealcafe.com -Tom Angie Molinar - Tuesday, November 2nd, 2004 5:35 PM Anne, I am writing on behalf of IUP's United Students Against Sweatshops. We were wondering if you would be interested in preforming for our cause. Thank you for your time. -Angie Molinar Jeff Del Papa - Friday, October 15th, 2004 5:12 PM Thanks for making "Jail for Justice" available online. I would like a lot more people to learn it, it seems like just the thing to sing while sitting handcuffed curbside, waiting for the bus to haul you to your local equivalent of guantanamo on the hudson... See you in Boston in a couple of weeks. -dp- www.the-nerds.org Bob Polinsky - Monday, September 27th, 2004 12:39 PM Thanks for the flyer on the recent gig and the web address.I am trying like hell to " vote the son of a Bush out of office ". My daughter Carolyn works for the MacArthur Park Bar in Palo Alto CA She is a barmaid and a waitress(she just turned 23 on 09/13/2004.(A 2003 G. W.

Your nice cousin Jill advised me about you appearing in my area (Washington, DC).I brought along a couple of friends and we all enjoyed your show. your colleague was entertaining too. I enjoyed the songs and the stories thery conveyed. I am retired from the Navy and am now a consultant in the DC area. I was a union member(Teamster in Phila., Pa.) and my my Dad was a Union Steward. Continued success and it was a pleasure meeting Jill's pretty and accomplished cousin (cuzin). Best to you. Frank return to annefeeney.com |
