Greetings:

In addition to the official memorial this coming Sunday (see message above), there was an impromptu memorial to Eric Levine, Carl Schwartz (long time Clearwater activist), and Utah Phillips at the People's Music Network Summer Gathering this past weekend. The outpouring of memories and good feelings for all three was enormous, but it seemed like the lion's share was for Eric. I would be easy to say that's because PMN was his home -- and it was. But Eric had many homes: Disabled in Action and the disability rights movement, the civil rights movement, War Resisters League, Peoples' Voice Cafe, the Irish music community, the Jewish music community, Hospital Audiences Inc., Camp Woodland, Camp Thoreau, Golden's Bridge Day Camp, the Langston Hughes Community Library, the Renaissance Charter School, Broadside magazine, and much more. He will be missed by all.
