like many BBC Radio had regular broadcasts to listen to, mainly children's programmes and I also was under the misconception of wrong doings under the "witch hunt" years now explained to my satisfaction at least as to the US establishments fear of Communism without knowing what it actually meant and hope fully now people can distinguish between Socialism and Communism ~ I digress

I loved his voice and his songs and remember also that he was an actor a good one too

NB: programme is right spelling in UK program is computers

I even have Burl Ives song book and seems he did have a fair old repertoire of songs

We in UK have been having enquiries into Government wrong doings (Hillsborough) and just had Orgreave turned down ~ did the Macarthy witch hunts fiasco ever be deemed a travesty of justice in the US? er um just wondered ~ we in UK were certainly not impressed!!
