Revkin the singing journalist

The Times's Andrew C. Revkin is a musician when he's not reporting. In tihs video, he discusses the inspiration of a song about Arlington Cemetery that he wrote for his blues-roots band.

Revkin tells CyberJournalist.net:

Back before memorial day, a Times Web video producer / shooter, Craig Duff (who also created our great Discovery-Times documentary "Arctic Rush") said he wanted to do a Web video around my song about Arlington, and the sad fact that the national cemetery is slowly running out of room....

He went to arlington and shot some astonishing images, then -- when i was in DC on assignment -- shot me doing a rather quirky standup describing the songwriting process, and how ballads of old were just a step removed from journalism, etc...
