Pete was a friend and mentor to us and especially to Pat. She was with Pete and his family and helped to sing Pete on his way back to Toshi . . .Throughout the week, we sang together with Pete's family. 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. Emma's Revolution is the duo of award-winning activist musicians, Pat Humphries & Sandy O. Called “inspiring, gusty and rockin’”, emma's revolution' songs have been sung for the Dalai Lama, praised by Pete Seegerand covered by Holly Near. The duo's awards include Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and, for the second year in a row, the Washington Area Music Association's Fan Favorite Award. "Revolutions Per Minute" is Emma's Revolution's third and latest recording. |
