A song for the times by Larry Long
In 1939, Billie Holiday had the courage to record the song Strange Fruit, which protested American racism, particularly the lynching of African Americans. Through the encouragement of many I have recorded and released my new song White Sheets in The White House. May it inspire others to do the same. Learn More
Thank you for taking the time to read this important message.
For 4 years I have donated my time as Executive Director of the award-winning indie film Dodging Bullets. This film affirms most everything I have learned through bringing Elders’ Wisdom, Children’s Song to communities large and small throughout this nation. The film documents Historical Trauma which is prominent in Native American communities. Historical Trauma is a term used by social workers and psychologists, it refers to the cumulative emotional and psychological wounding of a group of people caused by traumatic experiences. This trauma is epigenetically passed down from one generation to another and causes health care problems in today’s generation.
On Friday, November 30th Larry Long will be sharing the evening at Leo & Leona’s with Servant Leader and storyteller, Tom Thibodeau; Mississippi River balladeer Eddie Allen: singer-songwriter from the farm fields of Iowa, Raldo Schneider; master bass player, Larry Dalton; and the musical soul of the Wisconsin Driftless Region Dan Sebranek on guitar and vocals.
Recent woes and disasters visited upon the Wisconsin Driftless region in the past season have, at times, left folks feeling helpless and insignificant. But we are neither of those things. In this magnificent corner of the world and anywhere else you will find people working hard to help those in need and strengthening their communities.
Join us in a celebration of those efforts and of the inimitable human spirit that makes our community the greatest of our many treasures. This will be a night to measure time from.
When: Friday, November 30th, 7:30 PM
Where: Leo & Leona’s Dance Hall
