[OutVoice] Gay Guitarists Worldwide features songwriter/activist SANDY RAPP

[THEMUSENYC at aol.com]

Meet GAY GUITARISTS WORLDWIDE's featured player for August 2006 - SANDY RAPP.

"A perfect blend of personable, upbeat performance style and no-nonsense GLBT 
cultural activism.   At our recent Urban Productions NYC Benefit for 
S.A.G.E., SANDY RAPP charmed the pants of the audience with lovely, pared down 
acoustic versions of popular big-band era classics.   She had everyone clapping, 
dancing and singing along. In the realm of politics, Sandy's Stonewall Rebellion 
era experience and many other GLBT activist accomplishtments qualify her as a 
queer national treasure to us all." - RU

Sandy Rapp is an author, singer-songwriter, guitarist and grassroots activist 
who recounted her battles with the religious right in the book God's Country: 
A Case Against Theocracy: The Haworth Press; 1991.

Her best known songs are "Remember Rose: A Song For Choice," about the first 
back-street abortion fatality of the Medicaid-Abortion cutoff in 1977 (all 
editions of this piece feature a guest vocal by the late Congresswoman Bella 
Abzug) and "Everyone Was At Stonewall," a gay history originally written for 
police sensitivity training.

Rapp was instrumental in the passage of a number of gay civil rights laws and 
policies on Long Island, NY. Her CDs, which sing of these and other issues, 
include We The People, Flag The Rainbow, Still Marchin' and Salute to the 
Veteran Feminists
