Protesting songs have been around for years. Unlike Jane and Mike who have only been performing as a duo since 1982. Still; for most of that time they have been singing Protesting Songs; amongst other ditties; including many that theyve written themselves. Some of them are included in this book; mostly written by Jane; with bits of history and discussion from Mike. He wants you to know how Protesting Songs are made and how you can make them yourself. He tells the behind-the-scenes secrets of songs that were made in the last few decades; and even talks about putting your own homemade songs out into the world; sharing them with other singers and a wider audience. That advice alone is invaluable; but the thing that means this book is unique is the links it gives to videos; audio recordings and websites. If you follow these; you will get to hear the songs being talked about; and be able to see for yourself if what Jane and Mike say is true. Good Luck; and dont forget to leave comments; positive or negative.

HebertBeing born and raised in New Orleans; I have seen and wondered about most of these monuments since my early childhood. "The Story Behind the Stone" satisfied my curiosity in a simple; straight forward and entertaining manner. It also provided me with ample detail concerning the individuals depicted; the creators; dates; symbolism and genesis of the interest in creating the monuments. I recommend this book to everyone who is interested in the history of New Orleans; LA and even the United States; as many of the people honored by these monuments had a major impact on our country as well. This book was enjoyable and educational. I will definitely buy a number of books to give as gifts.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. New Orleans RevealedBy kbhenriqThis book; in a most consumable way; tells some of the history of New Orleans through monuments and statues around the city. It has a map of their locations; beautiful photographs and concise; yet thorough descriptions of the history of the monuments. As a local; it is an invaluable tool to understanding what I have driven past for years and for showing off the richness of New Orleans history and culture. Excellent for locals and tourists alike.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
