Si’s Interview on Wade’s World

Jun 25, 2014

KABFSi Kahn was recently interviewed on “Wade’s World,” working as he always does to spread the word about the fight to stop the proposed Pebble Mine and to protect Alaska’s Bristol Bay forever.

“Wade’s World,” is the radio interview show hosted by legendary organizer Wade Rathke, founder of ACORN, on KABF-FM, sending out 100,000 watts of activist energy from Little Rock, Arkansas.

Today, in the spirit of democracy, we’re offering you two different click options:

April 14th will be a very special show.  My dear friend of over 50 years, Si Kahn, turns 80-years-old on April 23rd and I’m throwing a Si Kahn 80th Birthday Party.  Besides being a frequent partner-in-crime, Si and I co-wrote five consecutive Grammy-nominated albums, toured our Signs of the Times tour (with sign language artist, Susan Freundlich). Not incidentally, Si is the godfather of my son Peter.  I was the first person to record a Si Kahn song, even before his incredible debut album New Wood.  So, I’ll reprise that first song, along with lots more of his great music.  But, most wonderfully, there will be over a dozen artists, including Billy Bragg, Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer, Tom Chapin, Jane Sapp, Holly Near, and Kathy Mattea, who’ll be chiming in with tales about Si and singing some of his classic songs.  This will be an incredible evening and a chance to not only hear some great music, but honor the guy I declared, “The best damn songwriter in the South…in his spare time!” back in 1975. 

Even if you’re not able to watch the celebration live, your ticket will allow you to view a recording of the full event for the next two weeks.

100% of ticket sales will go to support the official launch at the concert of the Si Kahn Living Legacy, a new non-profit project that will make available in perpetuity those of Si’s songs, stories, song cycles for children and adults, poems, unpublished books, musicals, and other creative works that have never before been available to the public, and ultimately keep them alive and easily accessible after he’s gone.
