Following the tragedies of September 11, the nation and especially New Yorkers have pulled together in a support of solidarity to honor the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Suzanne Vega
and fellow members of the Greenwich Village Songwriter's Exchange have
released a tribute CD titled Vigil,
with songs written about those events. "Vigil
is a natural response to try and bring together the people who want to
know how New York is doing after the attacks, and those who were writing
about life in New York City, as we all attempted to return to normal,"
says Suzanne Vega. Founded by folk pioneer Jack Hardy, the Greenwich Village Songwriter's Exchange has provided local New York songwriters a weekly workshop where its members share new songs and exchange ideas. The list
of contributing songwriters are: Suzanne Vega,
Christine Lavin, Tim Robinson,
Jack Hardy, Wendy Beckerman,
Bob Hillman, Jon Albrink,
Ina May Wool, dawn Landes,
Brian Rose, Richard Julian,
Jill Gewirtz, Amy Marie Keller,
Andy Germak, Noam Weinstein,
Frank Tedesso and Richard
Meyer. Tim Robinson also contributes his artwork
to Vigil; Tim did all the graphic design on the Vigil CD booklet. All profits
from Vigil will go to the Windows of Hope Family
Relief Fund. Thank you for visiting our website, and for your interest in The Vigil Project.
