I'm
calling this show "Harvey Milk Music," and it was my mission
was to gather together music about and inspired by the Harvey Milk story.
This show is not a history lesson; there are ample resources for that.
But to my knowledge no one has gathered together the musical impact
of his life. He affected and continues to affect people on a personal
level, so it's natural that a number of musicians and songwriters have
been driven to create their own tributes. I am very pleased to share
them with you.

Thanks
to Rick Chris for allowing use in my banner of his painting "Castro
Rainbow."

Also,
this edition of QMH contains a first, a song written and recorded especially
for this show. I'm honored and delighted to share the premiere of the
song "Give 'Em Hope," written by Tim Cain and Brett Alan Basil,
and sung by the band Boys' Entrance.

Late
Addition!
Hear the entire tape at this link, in my February 2015 Show. And, another new (May 2020) addition: ...by Irish artist Aiden
Casserly and his project Empire State Human, called "Harvey Milk"
Remember
that Harvey Milk speech where he tells about getting a phone call from
a teenager in Altoona, Pennsylvania? Well, that inspired Julian Hornik
to write this song.
