NYC: Vicki Rovere on Cable & Webcast

Dear Folks,

Musician/songwriter/organizer Joel Landy hosts a half-hour cable show
called "Songs of Freedom," which airs (so to speak) in Manhattan and
Queens. He invited me on the show, which we taped early in February.
First he performed for about ten minutes; then he interviewed me and
had me sing a few songs. I'm sorry to say I wasn't nearly as good as
I was at my recent performance at Peoples' Voice Cafe--I was nervous,
and I would have chosen more and different material to sing, and not
talked so much about my political history.  But I've watched the
tape, and it wasn't excruciating.

Songs of Freedom will air in Queens on Channel 56 on Saturday, March
2 at 9 p.m. It will air in Manhattan on Channel 34 on Thursday, March
7 at 7:30 p.m.

It will also be webcast at that same time (Thursday, March 7 at 7:30
p.m. EST) at www.mnn.org. You'll need to download the free Quicktime
software, so don't leave it till the last minute!

If you're in the neighborhood, I'd like to recommend turning up at
Peoples' Voice the night of March 16. The performers that night are
Dave Lippman, who's a terrific satiric songwriter, and Professor
Louie, who performs poems with conga accompaniment. His style
predates rap -- the lyrics are powerful, political, wry, empassioned. I
expect it to be an intense and satisfying evening.

That's Saturday, March 16, 8 p.m. (doors open 7:30) at Peoples' Voice
Cafe, at Workmen's Circle, 45 E. 33 St. (west of Park Ave.).
$10 regular admission, $5 for seniors/on strike/up against the machine.

Peace,
Vicki
