DESCRIPTION:John McCutcheon returns to Modesto Jan. 24, releases new book\n\nFolk 
 musician John McCutcheon returns for his 6th annual benefit concert for the 
 Modesto Peace Life Center on Wednesday, January 24, 2007 at 7 p.m. at the 
 Modesto Church of the Brethren. John is a five-time Grammy award nominated 
 folk singer and a committed peace activist. His singing, masterful playing 
 of many instruments and storytelling have left local audiences feeling 
 inspired and connected to the larger peace community.\n\nThis autumn also 
 brings the long-awaited release of the children's-picture-book version of 
 John's Christmas in the Trenches. With grand oil painting by award-winning 
 illustrator Henri Sorensen, this powerful book includes a CD of John 
 reading the book, singing the song and singing "Silent Night" in both 
 English and German. Christmas in the Trenches has been called the greatest 
 anti-war song ever written.\n\nHere are some thoughts from John’s last 
 newsletter:\n\n“The border wall along the Texas/New Mexico/Arizona line 
 will be a challenge to complete. Where will they hire the cheap labor 
 needed to build it?”\n\n“The all-volunteer army is stretched, 
 reservists and National Guard units are performing extended tours of duty 
 and the President has said he’ll “leave it to his successor” to 
 decide what to do with Iraq. Over two more years of the same? Some Decider. 
 Exactly one member of Congress had a child in the active duty military when 
 the vote was taken back in 2003 to authorize the war in Iraq. It’s 
 exactly this kind of disconnect from the realities of the war that stifles 
 decisive action. What is clear is that increasingly the poor are fighting 
 the rich man’s war.”\n\n“I’ll be in your neighborhood soon. ‘Til 
 then, keep in touch, do good work and eat enough homegrown tomatoes that 
 you’ll remember them all winter long.”\n\nConcert tickets are $17 in 
 advance, $20 at the door and $5 for young people 17 years old and younger. 
 Tickets are available at the Modesto Church of the Brethren, 2301 Woodland 
 Ave., Modesto, 523-1438, or at Anderson Custom Framing and Gallery, 1323 J 
 St., Modesto, 579-9913.\n\nJohn McCutcheon’s web site:
