The Brits Go Mad for “Prairie Chapel Road” (Well not really. But it was used in a BBC radio clip…)

Thanks to Madaleine, from the Kerrchat list, for the catch of this one…
Apparently, my new song, “Prairie Chapel Road,” written in honor of Cindy Sheehan and Camp Casey, made it into a BBC Radio clip the other night…or, at least a clip of the song made it into the clip of the story.

Listen here

This seems to be a clip from the live performance during last Friday’s prayer vigil with the military famlies and vets.

As of this writing, Prairie Chapel Road has been downloaded/streamed thousands of times. Someone told me that there was a video clip of me playing that aired on both Nightline and CNN…but I didn’t see either one.

Pretty wild stuff.

Hoping to get back down there for either Friday or Saturday, and play the song for more folks…I’ll keep all yall posted….
