Thanks!!********************************************The Easter Bunny brings me a Breast EggI was horrified to discover a LARGE lump on my left breast on Easter morning. It measured 3+ cm (more than an inch) in diameter when I went for the mammogram and biopsy three days later.The biopsy turned up some atypical cells, and surgical removal is probably indicated. Miraculously, the lump has gotten MUCH smaller since then... less than 1 cm. I saw a breast surgeon on the 24th and the lump has to come out. She's removing it on May 12th.This adventure has left me with almost $2000 in medical bills that my insurance doesn't cover (I switched to one of those high-deductible plans a few months ago, but this came up before I set aside a medical savings account with the deductible in it...)I've been in touch with so many of my wonderful women friends who have come out healthy and happy on the other side of this journey ... No matter what the news is on Thursday I am optimistic...I want all you women out there who have been procrastinating on a mammogram to go DO IT!I'll post something on my blog as soon as I know what's up...*********************************************MAYDAYI The rest of this blog is posted at http://fellow-travelers-advisory.blogspot.com/2008/04/a

DUMP THE BOSSES OFF YOUR BACK is the newest CD from Pittsburgh, PA folk icon Anne Feeney.

The new CD also features supporting vocals by Emma's Revolution, the Austin Lounge Lizards and Anne Weiss.The CD features 15 songs - six new Feeney originals, 3 classic labor songs from the Industrial Workers of the World, and six songs from great contemporary folk artists James Keelaghan, Kiya Heartwood, Al Grierson, Evan Greer, John William Davis and Colum Sands.

Her anthem "Have You Been to Jail for Justice?" is being sung in paddywagons everywhere and was featured as one of the 'top protest songs of all time' in the DORO Productions Documentary: "Get Up, Stand Up: The History of Pop and Protest" which has aired worldwide, and nationally on PBS. Peter, Paul and Mary are among the many artists who have recorded Anne's songs.

I can't remember the last time that I was home for a whole month! It's been a great month... lots of time to cook and eat well, to work out at the gym, to update my mailing list (welcome to all of you new folks!) and to work on the very exciting project I've undertaken thanks to a grant from the Labor Center at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. ********************************************* THE GRANT!!! My grandfather, William Patrick Feeney (1876-1939), was a union organizer for the United Mineworkers of America. He started work in the infamous New Hartley Colliery near Bedlington, England in 1888 (that's right, he was twelve) - and emigrated to the US in 1890. He went straight into the mines here, married, fathered ten children, served a term in the PA legislature, introduced one of Pennsylvania's first mine safety bills, played the violin and sang (and wrote) union songs, knew Gene Debs, Fannie Sellins and Mother Jones -- and thanks to the digitized archives of the local papers from that era, I have found thousands of articles chronicling his most interesting life. I'll be writing some papers ... if not a book... if not a musical... who knows? see the rest of this blog at:
