[ShareTompkins] Freeskool: Learning Songs of Resistance Meets Wednesday 21 March 7 pm at Jillians Drawers

[E L Cobb]

The next class meets Wednesday at 7 pm at Jillian's Drawers on the
Commons.  We'll be reviewing *Bread and Roses*, *Bella Ciao, Dancing on the
Ruins (of Multinational Corporations), *and *My Rainbow Race*, and moving
on to something new.  Come join the fun!  It's not necessary to come to
each and every class.  Just pop in if the spirit moves you.

The class helped lead the singing of *Bread and Roses* at two events
commemorating the centennial of the Bread & Roses strike by garment workers
in Massachusetts, on the 10th and again on the 12th of March, and lent
solidarity to the movement for a living wage.  We're learning and having
fun *and* resisting!

*Are you interested in singing out against fracking, the one percent,
capitalism, endless war [fill in the blank]? Want to ready your vocal
cordsfor 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, 7 March at 7:00****. 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.*
