Solidarity Forever!
There’s a new union hall in Las Cruces, and I’ve been invited to help celebrate. On Saturday, Oct. 18, AFSCME New Mexico Council 18, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, will hold an open house from 2-6 pm, with music, food and tours of the new facility at 138 S. Downtown Mall. The building is just across from White’s Music Box, and will be home to four AFSCME locals:
Local 1529, Dona Ana County Detention Center/Blue Collar
Local 2393 NMSU
Local 3320 State of New Mexico
Local 3422 NM State Corrections
I’ve dug up a few union songs and will give them a go-round on guitar, along with some of my originals on guitar as well as keyboard. I’m scheduled to play from 2:00 – 2:45. Come on down and party with us!
Kathy will be with me but may not be able to sing; she’s had a bad cold all week. But it shouldn’t stop her from rappin’ out a rhyhm on her tambourine or maybe a wild kazoo solo.
Everyone is welcome, and the music should be fun. the Deming Fusiliers play from 2:45-3:45, then Everett Howl from 3:45-5:15, followed by Benjy Rivas and BBR Band from 5:15-6 pm
