So what has Si Kahn been doing since his retirement on May 1, 2010? Much too much. Read about it all in John Groom's excellent and accurate article for Charlotte's Creative Loafing "Si Kahn stops for a rare Charlotte concert"

Summer 2011 issue of Occasional is posted! You can find it at the newsletter page.

Si Kahn's Folk Alliance International acceptance speech backed beautifully by Kruger Brothers instrumental music moved an Awards audience of 700 in Memphis this February. The Award for 2010 top played folk artist, most played song "Peace Will Rise" and most played CD Courage was presented by Rich Warren (the Midnight Special host) who pointedly cited Si's social activism and the sincerity that links 40+ years of organizing and Si's songs. The warmth and congratulations echoed for the remaining three days of the FAI.

The late Mike Seeger and Peggy Seeger's new Appleseed release Fly Down Little Bird (APRCD 1125, www.AppleseedMusic.com) garnered a rave review in the March issue of Mother Jones by senior editor Michael Mechanic, "Mike and Peggy Seeger's Final Encore." Peggy led off her Spring 2011 tour with brother Pete in a SRO benefit for the Woodstock Guild on March 19, which went far into the night. Please see Peggy's itinerary for mid-March through early April 2012, which is now being booked by Real People's Music.

Si Kahn's Creative Community Organizing, A Guide for Rabble-Rousers; Activists and Quiet Lovers of Justice (San Francisco: Berrett-Koehler) is a moving memoir that Faith Petric rave-reviews:" . . . it is a pleasure to read, full of stories, written in everyday English. Courage (Strictly Country Music), a CD with 16 new songs about the quiet heroism of everyday people, superbly produced and accompanied by Jens Kruger and featuring harmonies and liner notes by Kathy Mattea. Copies for personal enjoyment may be ordered from www.sikahn.com). David Perlmutt wrote a wonderful retrospective of Si Kahn's years as an organizer who gave voice to the voiceless in the Charlotte Observer, a lovely tribute on Si's retirement in his home-town paper. Rich Warren's review in the current issue of Sing Out! says in part " Kahn’s writing and energy remain at the peak of his career. He addresses subjects overlooked by most writers, and he always defends the underdog."

Laura Fuentes y Calicanto enjoyed Walt Michael's Common Ground on the Hill's Traditions Week in 2008, at least as much as Pedro's and her happy students. Laura's Diary is a rare review of folk music and learning form the performer's point of view. Laura is a wonderful folk music camp leader and school residency performer. Laura, resident in Peru, is now booking her annual Latino Heritage Month tour for mid-September through mid-October, 2011.
