Wage Love by Fred Gillen Jr
The call went out across the underground. Occupy! I fittingly found myself occupying not Wall Street but a small city called Findlay, Ohio, a big hurricane called Sandy, my local military base, and a street corner in Beacon, New York. Along the way I got re-aquainted with America, warts and all. I fell back in love with my country and got angry again. It inspired me to pick up this record and finally finish it. Whatever else you do, keep waging love wherever you can! It works!

Dedicated to my Mom, who taught me how to love unconditionally and who always supported my music, whether she agreed with it or not, and whether or not she thought it was any good.
With gratitude to Peg, my sisters, Pete Seeger, Koji Mabuchi, Hot Rod Pacer, Tribes Hill, the kids who do the bake sales at the Peekskill Middle School when I go there to vote, and most of all YOU for listening to these songs.
