Oh, Sorch...sure there is! Exactly what Lisa stated....

"I think its very important though that folk music people remember the relationship of "folk" to "politics" -- its part of our heritage. Singing political songs, old and new, is terrific but so is talking about what we've learned by participating in our fabulous eco-niche of the great musical landscape..."

It's not a critique of his politics or platform, it's a way to show how 'leadership' is relevant by referring to situations we, AS folkies, are familar with.



**DISCLAIMER** I know Lisa Null....and Bob Clayton. They were both at my house for a singaround last night.(Though I knew nothing about this thread then) Lisa has a wide ranging interest in 'life', expressed primarily thru music.
And Bob Clayton has written some VERY fine topical songs which I wish Obama could hear to get some 'folk' perspective on issues.
