I am not a big Ani DiFranco fan but I thought her style lent itself to “My Name Is Liza Kalvelage,” a song more relevant now than perhaps even when it was written. https://youtu.be/XIqNYxBct1c?si=4KdECjyzJr_EmQEk #protest #ProtestMusic #AniDiFranco #MalvinaReynolds

In March I try to surf #IWD all month long and focus my #StupidAccordionTricks on kick-ass women songwriters, so here's #MalvinaReynolds' 1964 protest song #ItIsntNice, a tune whose time has come again.

Malvina Reynolds was a gem of a human. A big activist, born to two activists, and a great musician to boot. Her most famous song, “Little Boxes” is fantastic. If you don’t know it by name, you’ve most likely heard it.

Anyway, here’s an live version that she performed back in 1976:
