Folks,

A demo version of Soon May the Kerryman Come is on the web at http://www.villagepub.com/kerryman/

The song has its origins in the pub sessions of Olympia, Washington where political issues are discussed and live music is played, usually over a pint of good beer. When the song was introduced, audiences spontaneously joined in on the chorus and gave a resounding "NO" to four more years for the Bush administration. The response has been the same every time the song is performed.

In 1966, Arlo Guthrie asked,

    "..can you imagine fifty people a day...walking in, singing a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends, they may think its a movement...

So in that same spirit, give the Kerryman website a look and listen. Let your friends, neighbors, and relatives know about the song. Get together with them, walk in, and sing a few bars. It will be a movement and you can help convince voters that its time for a change. Most importantly, get out to vote in November, support the Kerry/Edwards ticket, and set Wee Georgie and his crew out on the run.
