Jan Hammarlund and I at the European Social Forum




Thanks so much for signing up for my once-a-month email news - THE
FELLOW TRAVELERS' ADVISORY

It means so much to me that you want to stay in touch. Please let me
know what you're up to - this newsletter goes out monthly to 7000
activists.

You've seen my show... you know I don't have (and won't have) any
corporate sponsors to promote my music - I count on you! If none of
the upcoming shows are near you, maybe you know someone who lives
where I'm playing... tell them!

THANK YOU!

SEPTEMBER!!


I've got to run for the airport to get the flight from Copenhagen to
Ireland, so this will have to be short. If you'd like to see this
with photos, it will be up on my blog soon at
http://fellow-travelers-advisory.blogspot.com/2008/09/october-2008-anne-feeneys-fellow.html

The month started off great at the Kerrville Wine and Music Festival,
where GREEN MOUNTAIN GRASS headlined this year. My daughter Amy's
significant other... Jesse Dalton... plays bass in the band. They
turned in a terrific set, and it was a joy to see them on the main
stage. Dalis Allen, director of the festival, invited me on stage to
say a few words about the meaning of Labor Day. I was delighted, and
honored.

We celebrated Amy's 27th birthday at the festival, and my son Dan and
his wife, Monique, were on hand to help with the celebrations.

After that, my friend Karen Newman came along with me for a great
whirlwind tour of the beautiful Oregon coast. Got in visits with
lots of wonderful friends and had a great time... then on the the
PEACE AND JUSTICE STUDIES ASSOCIATION national conference in
Portland. It was a fantastic experience. As soon as I have a few
minutes, I'll put live links on my blog to some of the amazing folks
who spoke there - ANN WRIGHT, KATHY KELLY, FELICE and JACK
COHEN-JOPPA, BERNARD LAFAYETTE, MARJORIE COHN, STEPHEN ZUNES, SAMI
RASOULI and more more more ... It was a tremendously moving
experience and I learned so much there.

From Portland, on to Malmo, Sweden for the EUROPEAN SOCIAL FORUM.
Thousands of activists from all over Europe converged on this
gorgeous town in southern Sweden... activists from the labor,
environmental, peace and feminist movements talking about food
security, an end to the war, declining labor standards, poverty,
patriarchy... it was a BLAST.

Then the most wonderful tour of Denmark. More later, but I am so
grateful to Gerd Berlev and Jan Lars Nielsen for their hospitality
and help here in Denmark.

HELP!!!

I could REALLY use a fill in date for FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7th... if you
are anywhere in MA or CT or RI and would consider hosting a house
concert... or know of an event that I could plug into for that
evening... it would be terrific! Please drop me a line -
anne@annefeeney.com

(If the budget permits, CHARLIE KING could join me for this show!)

Also, Charlie and I will be touring together down to the School of
the Americas Watch Vigil and we're looking for a gig somewhere
between Norfolk, VA and Atlanta, GA on November 17th.

If you could host me and Charlie for a show, that would be great!!
Drop me or Charlie a line at anne@annefeeney.com or
VaguelyRem@aol.com.

FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT COMES TO LIFE in the capable hands of
historical dramatist R.J. Lindsey. Through extensive research, a
meticulous attention to detail and the use of only documented
speeches, letters and anecdotes, a vivid living portrait emerges.
Extensive experience as a teacher, researcher and actor have
contributed to the success of his living history programs which have
been seen from Jerusalem to London to the Democratic National
Convention. Lindsey draws upon a rich family history as a descendant
of ancestors who served in the Virginia militia during the Revolution
in 1776, settled the Great Plaines by covered wagon and joined the
Kansas Volunteers during the Civil War. As an educator, Lindsey
taught speech and theater for twelve years. As a theatrical
professional he has appeared on stage and television. His credits
include: She Stood Alone, Fatal Judgment, Will. He is a member of
Actor's Equity, the Screen Actor's Guild, and the American Federation
of Television and Radio Artists. R.J.'s website: www.rjlindsey.com.
