Personally, I would listen to Christine Lavin sing names from the phone book, much less her own songs about supermarket checkout meltdowns and gallivanting flies on airplanes and “sensitive new-age guys.”
She’s my favorite Upstate New York-Upper West Side folksinger-drum majorette. Now Christine is addressing the gun issue in the wake of Newtown. Please click here: http://vimeo.com/63798995 Lavin says she’s been in touch with Esther Williams because of this video. Maybe she will elaborate. I happen to agree with Chris. But even if you don’t agree with every point, there’s the voice and the guitar. The Web Site: http://www.christinelavin.com/ 4/13/2013 09:12:05 am
hi George -- thanks for posting this. I started writing this song on Christmas Day, after the shooting in Webster, NY -- a man set his house on fire, then shot and killed two of the responding firemen. To happen so soon after the Newtown shooting was horrible.

“They may hate the cultural context they now find themselves teaching in, but they love their work. The Achilles’ heel of schoolteachers, one all too easily exploited by politicians, is that they love their students.” (One of the best reads in the NYT these days is Margaret Renkl, in Nashville. In her latest post, Renkl describes the dedicated core of “born teachers” – the majority, she submits.) *** (From Madeleine Albright in one of her final interviews in February): “Putin is small and pale,” I wrote, “so cold as to be almost reptilian.” He claimed to understand why the Berlin Wall had to fall but had not expected the whole Soviet Union to collapse. “Putin is embarrassed by what happened to his country and determined to restore its greatness.” – Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, recalling her first meeting with the relatively unknown Vladimir Putin in 2000. – The New York Times, Feb. 23, 2022.
