Indypendent NYC-IMC

Merry Christmas.

In early October I wrote one of my latest songs called, “Wall Street Bail Out Blues.” Within four days of writing it, a video crew captured me playing it on the street at Seattle’s Pike Place Market and posted their video on YouTube. That video has now reached the attention of a writer for The Wall Street Journal who is writing an article about those who have written songs about our tough economic times. His article will be published this week and I’m excited to read it.


Who knows where this might lead? Call me an optimist but I have a feeling that this could mean that a few more seconds of that elusive fifteen minutes of fame might be coming my way.


It ain’t the cover of the Rolling Stone but it’s not every day that a writer from a major worldwide news outlet seeks me out to talk to me about my songwriting. That’s a huge validation of my efforts at staying true to my vision. I must be doing something right.


Follow your dreams.

NYC Thurs 3-27 Indigenous Music/Arts/Film Benefit Owe Aku
NYC Thurs 3-27 Indigenous Music, Art, Film Benefit at IAC 55 West 17th Street 5th Floor (5C) between 5th & 6th Avenues (Manhattan/NYC) for Owe Aku

Owe Aku ( “bring back the way”) works to preserve and revitalize the Lakota (Sioux) way of life. Our ancient identity guides us in our work and contributes to the preservation of the Earth. We promote and protect our land, treaty and human rights. Recently, tragedy struck when the home and office of our leaders, Debra and Alex White Plume, burned to the ground in the middle of the South Dakota winter. The family and the organization moves forward and we are once again turning to our friends and allies for help.



Thursday's multimedia program will consist of: presentations on Owe Aku’s work with Hemp (clips from the film Standing Silent Nation), Owe Aku’s efforts to preserve sacred sites (clips from a film on Bear Butte), an update on Owe Aku’s historic anti-uranium mining case, the progress towards rebuilding, sale of beautiful photographs from Owe Aku’s homeland and daily life by Malcolm MacKinnon, and Music by Matou: Indigenous musicians performing original compositions celebrating indigenous cultural strength, perpetuation of tradition, and expression of a love for nature.

The music is an eclectic fusion of Native American and powerful traditional Maori chants

Dear Magazine Man friends,

I have recently photographed a campaign for the City of New York.


GET SOME... NYC Condoms.


A TV, Radio, Internet, Magazine, Newspapper and Billboard campaign probably are known for you who live here in the city. If you haven't seen it.

many thanks and cheers!

On Tuesday, the FCC pushed through new rules that will unleash a flood of media consolidation across America.

The rules will further consolidate local media markets -- taking away independent voices in cities already woefully short on local news and investigative journalism.

We need 100,000 people to get Congress to reverse the FCC's rules right now.

Sign the Open Letter to Congress

Wishing you the best in 2008
