GUEST,cetmst Swarthmore Songbook available online (11) RE: Swarthmore Songbook available online 27 Apr 20


Thank you, Joe, for posting the Swarthmore College Songbook. I have the War Years Reunion (which I attended) edition and an update published in 1950. The US Navy sent me to Swarthmore in 1944 in the V-12 premedical program and I took in the Richard Dyer-Bennet, Leadbelly (he was there with his parole officer) and Susan and Jerry Reed programs. At later reunions and Folk Festivals I met and heard Oscar Brand, Jean Ritchie (three times), Mike Seeger, Joe Hickerson (he offered to let me accompany him doing research at the Library of Congress but my work schedule wouldn't permit), Peter Schickele (an alumnus), Susan Reed 50 years after her first appearance and Peggy Seeger. Since 2010 my wife's disability and illness have prevented me going back to reunions. My wife died last September and of course this year's reunion is cancelled.
