I love good music. Sometimes I lookout for different versions of a song, as this can be a treasure on its own. This time I found a version of the old US folk song “500 Miles Away From Home” or “900 Miles Away From Home”, here sung by female role model, folk singer, guitarist, record producer and political activits Barbara Dane.

Seems to be an old tune interpreted by oh so many artists with varying distances and minor differences in the lyrics; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/500_Miles.

By the way: Together with her husband she produced records to capture “cultural expressions, especially protests, in order to preserve them” (well, except fascist songs 😂).
