Thread Name: A Call to All Folk Singers: Landfill Project
Subject: RE: A Call to All Folk Singers: Landfill Project
Many thanks to those who have contacted me so far; I'll be emailing you presently, but just want to say that it's beginning to take shape with some great singers coming on board from both sides of the Atlantic.

I believe anyone who is moved to sing is a great singer, which is what this is about - how we all might be touched a great piece of art which becomes the catalyst for a whole movement. Our yearnings and concerns are likewise collective - thus the image of ploughman is more than empty nostalgia, it speaks of a hope that we might get our act together with respect of natural resources and cultivate a sustainable ecology without trashing the planet in the process. The Landfill Project is but one celebration of this. Every folk singer is a precious resource! And even if you've never heard the record and wish to take part, any version of any variant of any of the songs will be welcome.

MP3s ideally sent via YouSendIt (or such similar webhost) but in these days of faster broadband I regularly receive MP3s as attachments.
