    Café à la Green: Musicians

    Posted on December 7, 2004 | Leave a comment

    Musicians:

  • David Rovics – Prolific progressive songwriter and lyricist – Click on the link in the top center of the page, until December 31st the “all 9 of David’s recordings for $75” deal is now $55. A darn good bargain if you ask me, so there you go…David writes about all sorts of issues and performs at events like the School of Americas annual “Close the SOA” protest in Ft. Benning, GA.
