GUEST,Anne Neilson	Origins: Buddy Can you Spare a Dime - who was Al? (64* d)	RE: Origins: Who was Al in Buddy Can you Spare a Dime	12 Jul 14
My favourite version of the song is from Fred Hellerman (of the Weavers) accompanied only by his own guitar. It was all of the following by turns -- emotional, intense, powerful and desperate -- and I always took it that Al was a synonym for The Common Man. (Wish I could do a clicky link -- maybe a kind friend could oblige?)
