Subject: Coal ash song for WV Siera Club

WV Sierra Club Friends,

My Biomess song (previously sent to you) about the proposed power plant aka wood
incinerator in Greenfield has been picked as a Finalist and is awaiting
deliberation by Sonic Bids judges for Music of the Earth 2011 Song of the Year.

Now my coal ash song about the spill in Harriman, TN is one of 5 Finalists that
has been nominated for Song of the Year for Social Action by Independent
Musicians Awards. This is the second year in a row that I am a Finalist with
IMA. Last year’s song was about the cancers at the nuclear weapons plant in
Paducah, KY.


There are 2 winners. One has already been picked by IMA. The public is being
asked to vote for the other. Can you please circulate among your state chapters
and other contacts?  It is great publicity for both the issue of MTR and for
all the groups working to protect our air, water, mountains and those who live
therein. Thx for taking the time to do this.

If you want to hear the songs and participate in the voting, go to

Please share with anyone who might want to hear the music or be able to use it
in their work.


best, Tom
