The next class meets Wednesday at 7 pm at Jillian's Drawers on the Commons. We'll be reviewing <i>Bread and Roses</i>, <i>Bella Ciao, Dancing on the Ruins (of Multinational Corporations), </i>and <i>My Rainbow Race</i>, 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.<br>
<br>The class helped lead the singing of <i>Bread and Roses</i> at<font face="sans-serif"> 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</font>. We're learning and having fun *and* resisting!<br><br>Liza<br><br><br><b id="yui_3_2_0_38_1331928226146398" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif"><span id="yui_3_2_0_38_1331928226146397" lang="en-US"><span id="yui_3_2_0_38_1331928226146396" style="font-weight:normal">Are

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.</span></span></b><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif">

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</span></span></b><b><span lang="en-US"></span></b><b id="yui_3_2_0_38_1331928226146516"><span id="yui_3_2_0_38_1331928226146515" lang="en-US"><span id="yui_3_2_0_38_1331928226146514" style="font-weight:normal">.
