Pittsburgh, PA
27 February 2009
Welcome to the March 2009 Edition of my monthly email news - THE FELLOW TRAVELERS' ADVISORY. It's the only way I can really stay in touch with all the folks I visit over the course of a year, and I sooooo appreciate you inviting me into your inbox once a month.
I'm packing now for three weeks touring in Florida, and then I'll head to the midwest, to Ontario, and Washington DC.
I still have space for nine more folks to come along on the fabulous tour of Ireland I've got planned for August 25th - September 3rd. I hope that all of you - particularly some of my Danish and Swedish friends are considering this trip - It's a great great way to see Ireland!
In this month's Fellow Travelers' Advisory there are some really important timely actions you can take, a fun report from my 2009 Oscars party, family news, news about Charlie King and Karen Brandow's upcoming show in Pittsburgh and more! Write back and let me know what you're up to.
In solidarity
Anne

Alberta Tar Sands - Attention Canadians and US residents

March 3rd special election for Tom Geoghegan
There's a special election to fill Rahm Emanuel's seat in Illinois and we have a chance to send a brilliant guy who REALLY understands labor, the environment, the economy and so much more to fill that seat. Tom Geoghegan is a fabulous person and a good friend. He'd be perfect for the seat, but he could use your help.
Call your friends in Illinois and tell them they've got a chance to pick a real winner! And if you've got an extra few bucks sitting around, send them Tom's way. I did.
*************************************************************************************
Charlie King and Karen Brandow in concert in Pittsburgh
Come see Charlie and Karen in an intimate house concert in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, March 25th. Charlie is one of my favorite songwriters, and I'm not alone in that opinion. Charlie's fans include Peggy Seeger, Tom Paxton and Billboard Magazine. Performing with his multi-talented wife, Karen Brandow, Charlie's show is now filled with complex rhythms and gorgeous harmonies. If you'd like to come, send me an email: anne@annefeeney.com and I'll save a seat for you.
*************************************************************************************
BENEFIT FOR STRIKING UAW 364
After the concert I'm leaving on a midwest mini-tour to raise money for the striking members of UAW364 in Elkhart, IN. You can bring a check payable to Food4Strikers to the Charlie King/Karen Brandow show, or mail one to me:
Food4Strikers
c/o Anne Feeney
2240 Milligan Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA 15218
and I'll deliver it to them in person on the THIRD anniversary of their strike against Vincent Bach/Conn-Selmer. If you ever played a brass instrument it was probably made by these striking workers.
I'm in Cleveland on March 28th and the morning of the 29th. I'm hoping to do a show in Detroit - Ann Arbor - really - anywhere that's sorta-kinda-maybe on the way to Elkhart, IN - If you'd be willing to host a house concert on March 29, 30 or 31st email me right away!
*************************************************************************************
Ireland tour - August 25-September 3rd - Galway, Dublin and Clare!
This will be one of my best tours ever. If you'd like to join me and a small group of exciting activists for a musical tour of Ireland, this is your chance! If you're interested, drop me an email and I'll send you the details. anne@annefeeney.com

ONTARIO IN APRIL
