Artists
Danny O' Keefe
 

Singer/songwriter Danny O'Keefe began his career in the Minnesota coffeehouse scene in the 1960's In 1969, a meeting with Buffalo Springfield manager Charles Greene led to a telephone audition with Ahmet Ertegun, President of Atlantic Records, resulting in O'Keefe's first record deal. Atlantic Records released O'Keefe (1972) which featured the top-ten classic hit, "Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues", followed by the classic Breezy Stories (1973).

"Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues" has been recorded by Elvis Presley, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Leon Russell, Charlie Rich, Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie McCoy, Cab Calloway, Earl Klugh, and Chet Atkins among others. Mel Torme performed it and, most recently, it was recorded by Dwight Yoakam for his Under The Covers release, and featured in the film Wild Things.

Songbird Foundation

The Songbird Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that educates and motivates people to make sustainable choices to preserve migratory songbirds. One of the greatest threats to migratory songbirds is the surge in aggressive sun-grown coffee. In Latin America, coffee has traditionally been grown under the canopy of the rain forest, and a majority of the remaining regional rain forest is on coffee farms. Our current campaign goals are focused on raising awareness among coffee consumers, retailers, growers and distributors of the effect of sun-grown coffee on the songbirds and the rain forest on which they depend for essential habitat.
