From SandyRapp.com:
Sandy Rapp is an author, songwriter and grassroots activist who recounted her battles with the religious right in the book God's Country: A Case Against Theocracy: The Haworth Press; 1991. Her best known songs are "Remember Rose: A Song For Choice," about the first back-street abortion fatality of the Medicaid-Abortion cutoff in 1977 (all editions of this piece feature a guest vocal by the late Congresswoman Bella Abzug) and "Everyone Was At Stonewall," a gay history originally written for police sensitivity training. Rapp was instrumental in the passage of a number of gay civil rights laws and policies on Long Island, NY. Her CDs, which sing of these and other issues, include We The People, Flag & The Rainbow, Still Marchin' and Salute to the Veteran Feminists.
Rapp's appearances include the million-plus 2004 March For Women's Lives, the National Women's Music Festival, National NOW Rallies in Seneca Falls, Manhattan, and Washington, DC, the National Women's Political Caucus Conference, the Gulf Coast Womyn's Festival, Chicago's Autumnfest, New York State NOW Conferences, Montana Pride Rally, Palm Springs' Gay Veterans, Manhattan's Peoples Voice Cafe, the 2001 NOW March on DC, the Gay Millennium March, the 2003, 2005, and 2006 National NOW Conferences, the Manhattan LBGT Center, the NOW-NYC Central Park Protest against the 2004 Republican Convention, the 2005 Save The Court Rally in Union Square, and the Molly Yard Memorial in DC's Hart Senate Office Building. She served as a Grand Marshal of the 2006 Long Island Pride Parade, where she has performed a number of times, and she has won the 2006 LIP Award for Music from Lipstick TV.
Rapp's "Rise Up Ye Women" from her 2006 Salute to the Veteran Feminists CD was written up in The New Yorker - 11/13/06 as was her performance at the NYU Law School '06 Women's Equality Day. See this column at http://members.aol.com/sandyrapp/Reviews2.html

Sorry I've been so hard to reach the past few months. Between prepping my 80s show ("give a little respect...to me" - Erasure), learning new shamisen pieces (any excuse to look like something out of Memoirs of a Geisha!) and recording my Transformers tribute album (Optimus Prime - I think about you all off the time), I barely sleep!
But as busy as I am, I feel extremely blessed by such loving, caring and supportive fans, friends and family. You make every moment of this journey worth it! As a way to say thanks, and in my best efforts to spread holiday cheer, my Strangely Beautiful CD is now available for f-r-e-e (or almost ;-)
That is, you can now pay what you want/can. Any amount. No catch!
So stock up on copies of Strangely Beautiful now - they make great stocking stuffers and they'll only cost you what you pay :-) Please message me your mailing address and how many you want and I'll get them to you in no time!
Thanks again + best wishes for a nice, safe and peaceful holiday season.
This is Joanne from Jann Klose's Street Team just letting you know that Jann's new single "Beautiful Dream/Hold Me Down" is now available on itunes, emusic, and Rhapsody! You can listen to the single at Jann's Myspace. Thanks!
