[OutVoice] SingOut still needs our help

[tsunamiinc at aol.com]

So many magazines have gone under recently and I'd hate to see this happen  
to SingOut!, a wonderful publication about folk music in it's many forms,  
including the work of glbt performers. While I have a vested interest - I'm 
a  writer and they sometimes publish my work - I've also been a subscriber 
for many  years. Maybe you've picked up an issue or two and enjoyed it also? 
If so, send  'em a little dough. Below is the appeal they sent me. Feel free 
to send it on to  others.
 
BTW they sent out an appeal a month or so ago and heard from 500 people.  
That's awesome, and it means they could put out the next issue, but it's not 
all  they need. I happen to know that the editor hasn't taken a salary for 
months now  because they don't have the money.
 
Anyway, read on and help if you can.

***********************************************
 
Pete Seeger is asking us to join together to help a folk music  
institution! Since 1950, Sing Out! Magazine has been one of the most effective  and 
respected ways for musicians to share and learn. As Sing Out! heads towards  
its 60th anniversary next spring, its non-profit parent -- which also produces 
 "Rise Up Singing," Sing Out! Radio Magazine, and Pete's newly revised  
autobiography "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" -- is fighting for survival.  
Throughout its existence, Sing Out! has always operated close to the bone  
financially, but recent economic conditions, along with the current state of 
the  print trade and periodicals, have come together to put the very 
existence of the  magazine and organization in real danger. If you care about folk 
music, and want  one of its community's strongest voices and allies to 
survive, I urge you to  check out Pete's message at: 
<http://www.singout.org/donate.html>. (You  can help by passing this message on to others you think 
should know about this  too!)
