YES! . . . John Hall is running for Congress in my district . . .

[OneBlueSky]

against the useless Republican Sue Kelly! . . . founding member of the band Orleans, Hall has the support of my friend Pete Seeger, as well as other musicians like Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne and Graham Nash . . .

I saw John perform at a No Nukes demonstration against the Seabrook plant in New Hampshire somewhere around 1978 or so . . . Pete Seeger and Tom Rush were also there . . . he's written some great environmental songs, and I'll be pleased to support him any way I can . . .

residents of New York's 19th Congressional District -- We have a candidate! . . .

2. I wonder what Oates is up to these days?

sorry. wrong band.

4. Wrong Hall...

That's Darryl...this is John...did lots of great 70's tunes with a band called "Orleans"...best known for "Still The One".

Another great tune...one that never got much radio play..."Power"...a tune about Solar Energy.

6. Yes, "Power" is a great song.

We had Jackson Brown and Graham Nash and Bonnie Rait sing it at Abalone Alliance benefits and rallies in California when I worked with that coalition against the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. That song always gives me chills. I was based in Northern CA, but John may have performed himself at one of our rallies in San Louis Obispo, I can't quite remember. Anyway this is great news. Best of luck to him and your District.

5. That's great news.

I'm glad to hear he's still walking the walk.
