Before I left for Washington this weekend, I posted a few songs inspired by Obama. One was Jana Mashonee’s take on ‘A Change is Gonna Come’. Jana performed at the Native American ball on Tuesday night and if I wasn’t asleep on my friend’s floor, completely passed out from waking up before dawn to get a spot on The Mall, I would have been there to see her. Below is the official video for her awesome Sam Cooke cover (which also features Derek Miller).

Obama On My Mind “takes a humorous look at the weird and wonderful world behind the scenes of a small Obama campaign office & the larger than life characters who make the wheels turn, the cogs whirr & bring in the votes”.
