[ShareTompkins] Freeskool Class -- Learning Songs of Resistance

[E L Cobb]

*Learning Songs of Resistance*

*Liza **a_momcat at yahoo.com*

*Location: Jillians Drawers, The Commons*

*Dates: Two or more Wednesday evenings a month, depending on interest.*


*Are you interested in singing out against fracking, the one percent,
capitalism, endless war [fill in the blank]? Want to ready your vocal cords
for the EF! Round River Rendezvous coming to a place near you in July 2012?
I have a copy of **Hootenanny** and **Rise Up Singing**, and a burning
desire to learn and recycle historical songs of resistance. If we put our
heads together, sharing what we know and using the Internet and each other
as resources, we can come out of the Freeskool 2012 semester with a dozen
or so songs under our belts and ready to belt out at protests and marches
and full moon bonfires, or where- and whenever the spirit moves us.*

*I envision each participant sharing a song s/he already knows, or tracking
down the melody of a particular song that speaks to her/him, via the
Internet, library, and/or media, and introducing it to the rest of the
class. In this way, we are all the teachers and all the learners. If this
format appeals to you, join me and my guitar in the Community Room of
Jillian's Drawers on The Commons on Wednesday, 8 February at 7:00 **[notice
the schedule change from the Freeskool flyer!]**. Musical instruments,
music books, sheet music, etc. are all welcome, but optional. Be sure to
bring your revolutionary spirit, your vocal cords, and a whole lot of hot
air.*
