Songwriter Alvin Harrison, hasn\u2019t always been politically active, but he became politically active when he heard about the government shut down last fall: \u201cI saw on the news that Congressmen were going to shut down the government, because they couldn\u2019t agree on the budget. No one was going to get paid, except the Congressmen. I wrote a song called <em>Rough Times in America<\/em>, and the project got started from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alvin Harrison describes his old self: \u201cI think I was like everyone else. If you\u2019re not alerted to what\u2019s going on, you\u2019re just involved with your day-to-day life. You don\u2019t think about it. When people start thinking about things, people will change the way they deal with their government and voting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To Alvin Harrison, The 99 project is a social movement as well as a musical movement. He wants to expand the movement to be worldwide: \u201cThere are similar problems around the world. I want to have the same songs recorded in different languages. Maybe musicians from around the world can send me stuff that\u2019s relevant to their countries. We\u2019re all part of The 99, everybody in the world, except the 1%.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To further reinforce the point of The 99, Alvin Harrison decided to use \u201cregular people from around the world who are musicians\u201d rather than use famous musicians to record his music. He knew that he did not want to form a band, so he contacted musicians from around the country.<\/p>\n<p>When he recorded <em>Rough Times in America<\/em>, Alvin Harrison began by recording most of the music in his home studio, and then he sent it to a studio in Los Angeles. The studio in Los Angeles recorded the background vocals. After that, Alvin sent the song to a singer in Charlotte, NC, who recorded vocals there. Then, Alvin mastered and mixed the final tracks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2867\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Alvin-Harrison-guitars-234x350.jpg\" alt=\"Alvin Harrison guitars\" width=\"234\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Alvin-Harrison-guitars-234x350.jpg 234w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Alvin-Harrison-guitars-234x350-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 234px) 100vw, 234px\" \/>Within two hours of posting <em>Rough Times in America <\/em>on the internet, Alvin Harrison was contacted by Jay King, internet radio show host, musician and co-founder of Club Nouveau. Jay helped Alvin spread the message worldwide. Since then, Alvin has enlisted Jay\u2019s help on all The 99\u2019s music projects and has found his advice invaluable.<\/p>\n<p>I asked Alvin Harrison the goals behind The 99 project. Does he want to raise awareness? Raise money? Encourage others to take action? His answer: \u201cProbably all 3, with the least important one being to raise money. As far as I\u2019m concerned, the corporate and the 1% takeover of our democracy is our biggest problem. I want to disseminate information through our Facebook page and through our songs, to make people aware, so they can start thinking about things and so we can get some changes made. All artist revenues will be given to a charity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 99 started as an American project. Then, Alvin Harrison started expanding the idea: \u201cThe internet is such a wonderful tool. We have a meeting place that\u2019s instant and accessible to everyone in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The 99 has become involved with a project in England called Children Screaming To Be Heard. Alvin Harrison is working with people on that project to produce a song that increases awareness about child slavery. \u201cIt\u2019s neat because I can work with people in different countries about problems in their country specifically and also problems that are common to all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alvin Harrison creates the videos for The 99 songs: \u201cAll of the clips for the videos come from YouTube. In the song <em>Do You Wanna Go<\/em>, I used footage from copyrighted films. I added a disclaimer to my videos, then contacted people and told them \u2018I need to use your stuff; I\u2019m not making any money off it, but I\u2019m going to help further your cause.\u2019 Everyone told me OK, no problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t see the musicians in The 99 videos, mainly because they are spread out across the country. Alvin Harrison believes it\u2019s the message that important, not the messengers.<\/p>\n<p>So how does Alvin Harrison use social media to spread the word? He posts the videos on YouTube, he posts interesting and informative articles on Facebook and he\u2019s active on Twitter: \u201cI\u2019ll post something on Facebook concerning a problem. Then, I\u2019ll put a provocative tweet out there that says go to the Facebook page. Since I\u2019ve started doing that, I\u2019ve gained thousands of likes and followers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To date, The 99 have recorded three songs: <em>Rough Times in America<\/em>, <em>We Ain\u2019t Buying<\/em> and <em>Do You Wanna Go<\/em>. All three singles are available on The 99 YouTube channel. Go watch, learn and become involved. As Alvin Harrison explains, \u201cThere\u2019s no one funding this project but me, so I will gladly accept any help that I can get from anyone. These corporations and the 1%, they meet all the time. We need to meet and this is our meeting place: the internet. I need musicians, songwriters and media people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To quote Alvin Harrison: \u201cNow is the time to start hammering the message and get some changes made in the United States and the community of the world. We have to start somewhere, so I\u2019m starting from the ground up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Amused Now Featured Artist Series<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2865\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/The-99-hands-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"The 99 hands\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/The-99-hands-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/The-99-hands-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/The-99-hands-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/The-99-hands-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/The-99-hands-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Alvin Harrison, The 99<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/RTIAAlvin\" target=\"_blank\">@RTIAAlvin<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RTIA1\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCLcgmgaWNJ8SJR0Vsj0C7Gw\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/111227772153840266550\/posts\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Kahn, Founder of Amused Now \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Amused_Now\" target=\"_blank\">@Amused_Now<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AmusedNow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/106372266016264510992\/about\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/amused-now\/id916561789\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Through The 99 project, Alvin Harrison puts words, music and visuals to the feelings that 99% of Americans feel about the problems we\u2019re facing today both inside the United States and worldwide.
