Thread Name: Old Songs Festival 2011, big surprises?
Subject: RE: Big surprises at Old Songs 2011?
There were so many amazing moments. I thought the Saturday afternoon celebration of the Marriage Equality Act was exceptional. Added to the program hours after the legislation was approved just a couple of miles away in Albany, I thought the celebration was a perfect example of how music can join people together and help create change. Ellis and Ruth Pelham did a great job of leading the sing, and the final "This Land is Your Land" was very moving.

I'm writing a piece for my blog and posting some pictures about the entire weekend.
