We gathered with the Beacon community to sing his songs, as so many did in their communities around the world.And we wrote 'Sing People Sing', Pat's tribute to Pete. Pat started it the day after Pete passed and, on Sunday, we sang it at the small, local visitation to remember him. People started singing along with the chorus:Oh, hear the banjo ring Hear the people sing Hope changes everything Sing people sing"Click here to watch the video. Emma's Revolution "With gorgeous close harmonies and unsinkable tunefulness, Emma’s Revolution (the Emma is Goldman) is a classic, globetrotting folk duo comprised of activist singer/songwriters Sandy O and Pat Humphries. Their music is progressive, socially-conscious, confrontational and shot-through with intelligence and cutting humor. Newest disc 'Revolutions Per Minute' is a front-to-back gem." ~Iowa City Press-CitizenSmart, funny and informative--like Rachel Maddow and Jon Stewart with guitars.
