One song is from the album "Virgo Rising - The Once And Future Woman," and the other is from Reynold's own album, "Held Over." Trombley then welcomes guest Joanne Wolf to the show. Joanne was convener of the Women's Health Concern Committee, a member of NOW, and also a member of the board of the Bicentennial Women's Center. They discuss women's issues in American politics with a particular emphasis on the Democratic and Republican split and the Carter-Mondale ticket / platfrom of 1976.
This sound recording captures a live music performance. The audience sings and claps along to several traditional American folk songs including "Down in the Valley to Pray".
The sound recording is women singing the old hymn "Down in the River" with the words changed slightly. The rest of the recording is the women singing various songs.
