Watch Episode 2: GET OUT THE VOTE!
ABOUT the SONGWRITERS and their SONGS
We open with Roy Zimmerman and his fabulous song, My Vote, My Voice, My Right. It’s the most honest & true, totally grooving’ musical history of voting rights you will EVER hear. And it starts at the very beginning. Roy has created hundreds of fantastic songs with his writing (& life) partner, Melanie Harby—so check ’em out. Based in California, Roy has covered the country from west to east, north to south many times over, offering finely-honed entertainment—shedding light on while making light of—US politics.
Next up, there’s a catchy, ukulele driven-tune from the new, digital duo
Hattie-Purl & the Poll Cats’: Vote4Mom! Jerushko, wrote the song, and Purly Rae Gates played Uke, provided back-up vocals, arrangement & mixing; guitar, bass & engineering by Rick Arnoldi. And there’s a cast of 50+ beautiful people lending smiles, holding lyric signs.
Distant Thunder—a new American musical— just opened on Broadway. Directed & choreographed by LYNNE TAYLOR-CORBETT, with music and lyrics by SHAUN TAULOR-CORBETT and CHRIS WISEMAN. It’s a sneak peek/listen to Hold On, with an all-Indigenous cast.
Wrapping up the episode, Seth Handelman offers a heartfelt look back at the voting rights struggle some 60 or so years ago, with his rock-infused song The Returns. (You hear Seth’s awesome sax riffs at the intro & outro of each podcast episode.)
