Hey,
I am a student at the Evergreen State College and would love you to play at the Evergreen State College. Is this possible? How can we make this happen. Please email me back at jonathanlw@pacbell.net
This request comes from the JFB,
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Jonathan Levy-Wolins

Friend of a friend (Andrea T.) showed me this. Later, I had an 18 minute discussion on a couple of these songs and the meaning with another friend. May your prosperity increase with inspiration, and your wealth never belong to ruined aspirations.
Dear ET: I heard you play at Folklife a few weeks ago. I LOVE YOUR SONGS & SINGING. I am a professor at SU, would love to invite you to campus–will try to find some decent funding for you. I thought if you were in town, maybe visitng your parents, we could do something at Seattle University. I return in January 2010, that’s a long way away, but I wanted you to know I am very interested to bring you to campus–students aren’t very political … you’d be a great role model! Thanks for all your work and making your songs available. Enjoy, Mara
We met at Folklife. LOVED YOUR SET!
I asked if you would be interested in joining Anne Feeney on her tour, Sing Out For Single Payer Health Care.
I sent your link to Anne, and I thought she would contact you. She thought you were going to contact her. My bad. My appologies.
At least one night will be in Portland. If you are still interested, please contact her at:
anne@annefeeney.com
The entire schedule is posted on her site under “gigs.” Hope this message isn’t too late for you.
Al, I enjoyed every single song you’ve written! I laughed at your quirky and witty lyrics until I teared up and danced in my cubicle (I’m at work) to the jaunty melodies. I am impressed and inspired by your dedication to and passion for the labor movement. I plan on downloading your music and sharing it with my friends and family. I think it would make an excellent Christmas present, ironically. Haha.
I stopped by for a listen this morning. I really dig “Apocalyptic Song.” You rock.
ok. so sorry to invade your cyberspace, but i think you were that pretty girl who just found my wallet. i feel dorky about this but you are a fantastic person and i hope your act of kindness returns three fold. please e-mail me if i got the correct person, because you deserve a bottle of wine for your trouble at least.
