Pittsburgh's participation (at Point Park) in NATIONAL SING OUT FOR EARTH DAY!
At 3 p.m. (Eastern), 2 p.m. (Central), 1 p.m. (Mountain) and noon (Pacific time), a song will ring out at Earth Day events across the country. We'll sing “This Land Is Your Land” TOGETHER in the key of D (for consistency) across the nation all at the same time. Videotaped performances from around the country will be used to create a montage of the events. iPhones, Vimeo cams, flip phones - anything goes!
Elsewhere, folks like Pete Seeger, Tom Chapin, Janis Ian, Toshi Reagon, The Klezmatics and David Amram and many others will lead an Earth Day sing-along in Tarrytown, NY; Country Joe MacDonald will participate in the Berkeley, CA sing-along. Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, folks will meet in Point Park and sing in front of the fountain (weather permitting) at 3 p.m. sharp (Otherwise, we'll sing under the overpass in Point Park). Participants are invited to bring kids, musical instruments, terrible towels, costumes (tree, dolphin – use your imagination!), signs, earth flags … Arrive at the park between 2:15 and 2:30. We’ll warm up/rehearse for about a half hour, and then we’ll start at 3 PM SHARP.
It’ll all be over by 3:15 so don’t be late. The more the merrier!
