Anne Aunt Molly Jackson (7) RE: Aunt Molly Jackson 23 Jan 99


Dear Susan: I too am a fan of Aunt Molly Jackson. A couple of summers ago I took a humanities course at Smith College which combined music and literature to tell the working class story. Also, my father was a coal miner in PA so the subject was personally interesting. At this time I found a recording called The Long Memory which showcases Rosalie Sorrels and U. Utah Phillips singing workers anthems. Rosalie starts the CD with a spoken-word piece written by Aunt Molly that defines Folk Music. This CD remains one of My Favorite and I highly recommend it. Great Idea for a posting! Also, researching Aunt Molly led me to the story Of Mother Mary Jones who was a real activist for the miners. Anne
