This was a weekly gathering of people
to
hear local musicians and
spoken-word artists performing original, powerful pieces. [listen]
Now is the time to express our emotions, our stories, our thoughts
through
music and spoken word. We need to share in community, we need to hear
each
other, and rejoice in art and music. Expressing the personal will
affect the global.
We fight bureaucracy with silliness.
We stop war with song.
We combat hopelessness with hope.

Update: WOW!
The April 21 event was a smash success. Don't take my word for it
-- listen for yourself: April
21st show. I've posted all the
MP3 recordings of people who wanted to be published
here. Also, check out the April
7th show
$*#@!^%$ Brittany Spears and the Backstreet Boys ain't got nothin' on
this. Pull down
these MP3s and get some quality music in your life, not that schlock
from the
corporation$ who killed Napster. This is beautiful, original, live and
unplugged music
at its best!

Update: As
the series continues, it will evolve ....
From our first gathering on April 7th,
people who came were most excited about the less amplified performances
in the wonderful
acoustics of the BFUU hall. The impromptu jams, the group
harmonizations, the sharing and listening -- these led us
to want future Live and Unplugged events to be truly unplugged.
(Amplified instruments still welcome.)
