Subject: New Barack Obama Song



Hello,





I think you will be interested in a song I have just written titled ILLINOIS BOY, inspired by Barack Obama. I first heard about the Senator while on one of my annual holidays in Honolulu, where he grew up. Some of our Hawaiian friends' children had gone to school with him. They told me of their pride in this Senator from Illinois.



ILLINOIS BOY is witty, whimsical and fun, with a slight country flavor. A few friends have suggested that you can’t refer to a black man in America as a boy. But it’s not unusual in country music to call a youthful man a boy, and I think they are overlooking the change in race relations that Obama’s candidacy so clearly embodies.



So, boys and girls, as it says in ILLINOIS BOY, “Nothing’s ever gonna be the same!"



You can hear the A 2   minute clip instantly and for free at http://cdbaby.com/cd/anniepalovcik . Please give it a listen.   No time before Super Tuesday for hard CD's; download the 5-song EP CHANGES for just 4.97 to put ILLINOIS BOY out on the airwaves.
