On Sunday, October 3rd, Local 1000 helped celebrate Sing Out! magazine’s 60th anniversary by participating in a Sing Out, Sing In concert in Philadelphia. Hosted by members Peter Blood and Annie Blood Patterson, a host of Local 1000 members led a crowd in a wonderful sing-along concert based on the classic songbook Rise Up Singing, edited by Blood and Patterson. President John McCutcheon, Kim & Reggie Harris, Greg Artzner & Terri Leonino (Magpie), and John Flynn led songs that included compositions by charter members Earl Robinson, Si Kahn, and Pete Seeger, among others.
The evening was brought to a boisterous close with McCutcheon leading the crowd in an impassioned “Solidarity Forever.” Sing Out magazine was an early supporter of Local 1000 and entered into the Local’s first collective bargaining agreement. We look forward to many more years of singing out together.
