The image here was taken during one of Si Kahn's many visits to my former radio program In the Tradition with Jeff Boudreau on community radio WCUW 91.3 in Worcester. Si is an activist singer/songwriter, labor leader, and all around good fellow. His current cause is stopping the Pebble Mine and to protect Bristol Bay permanently.
There is irony in this cause, Sarah Palin named her daughter after the bay. Needless to say, I highly recommend this cause and internet broadcast.From Si:Three years ago, Dan Strickland, invited me to come to Alaska to write a "theme song" for the campaign to stop the Pebble Mine and to protect Bristol Bay permanently. That visit resulted in 15 songs on a soon to be released CD, titled Bristol Bay. Dan and I, along with former Alaska State Senator Suzanne Little, also founded Musicians United To Protect Bristol Bay, which is now an international network of musicians dedicated to using their collective voice to to prevent this potential environmental, human and cultural disaster. http://www.MusiciansInited.info/
