Holly Near - Live At Caffe Lena

[@sueware8377]

I have followed Holly since she started her career. From Washington D.C to the Great Peace March. From the unfolding of the AIDS quilt in Washington to the Denver Women's Chorus concert and her concerts around the country. And, now, in the weird and chaotic times I live in, I still hear her voice, and watch videos of her singing, and her music resonates with me as I go through the events of my life. Holly is a gift from the Universe and an Avatar to teach us about injustice, death and dying, and political corruption. Whether she is singing with others or by herself, her music has bolstered us all, women and men, through the horrors of history, the frightful times of war and genocide, the gay and lesbian struggles, the war on women, and our fight for justice and peace. In this video she is, once again, sharing her woman's wisdom through music and I am SO fortunate to have been on this journey with her. Thank you, Holly! We ARE singing for our lives!

The first time I heard this song it felt so personal. I grew up in a violent home but my mom most often had a sense of hope and that saved me. At age 12 my parents finally got divorced when the government offered housing for single women. Today I hear this and I think of the children in the middle of all war zones. We must hold hope always.

So sorry to hear of your health issues. I admire your courage and bravery. I too have been through cancer and chemo. Many years ago I had the pleasure of going to your concerts. That was a great joy for me.

This is very nice! I asked a question on the Caffe Lena site that was never answered. I'm hoping someone is monitoring this since it's very recent. Who was the woman that sang with Holly on "Are You Kidding Me" at Caffe Lena before this appearance? Your response will be sincerely appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Terry, Holly was accompanied on that tour by pianist Jan Martinelli and vocalist Tory Trujillo
