Loudon Wainwright III's Records New Song, "Presidents' Day"; Politically Charged Song is Now Availlable Free on Artist's Web Site, http://www.lwiii.com

Next year at this time I hope I can say/I feel a lot better about Presidents Day/With no George in the White House, oh happy day!"

LOS ANGELES, CA (PRWEB) April 16, 2004 --- Storied singer/songwriter Loudon Wainwright III has written and recorded a new song called Presidents Day" which he has made available for free download at his web site, http://www.lwiii.com. The song, which Wainwright debuted live at McCabes Guitar Shop in Santa Monica last month, was greeted with such enthusiasm and support that he decided to make it available for free on the Internet...and encourages fans to send the MP3 files to their friends.

Looking to the holidays commemoration of presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, Wainwright looks forward to a Presidents Day in which the White House is free of tenants named George: This year Im queasy about Presidents Day/For theres been more than one George, Im so sorry to say."

Wainwright wrote in a letter to the press, Kindly lend an ear or even two to this March 27 recording of my song 'Presidents Day, captured live at McCabes Guitar Shop in Santa Monica. Due to its particular timeliness with regard to our nations impending electoral decision have made the rather unusual (for me) decision to cast into the ether of cyberspace, there to be had gratis, free of charge for citizens armed with an MP3 player and a taste for broadside material. It is my sincere hope that those of you who like the song and approve of my plan will assist me in spreading the word about 'Presidents Day in order to inform and/or inflame any swing voters out there who remain ambivalent or apathetic about the current administration and its reckless, dreadful policies. I look forward to performing this song in the coming seven or so months anywhere within reason, to anyone willing to listen. It is the least I can do and therefore seems to me worth doing. Thanks for listening. -- Loudon Wainwright 3rd."

Wainwrights last album was the live So Damn Happy on Sanctuary Records.
