Subject: RE: The Weavers and the McCarthy Era
Foolestroope ... You are exactly right. However, when you're 17 or 18, it ain't easy to be brave. And I never thought so much that I was "brave" as I thought that I was right. Besides, as I told the Captain: "Of course I sing Communist songs. They've got the BEST songs!"

Sometime, we ought to start a thread on excatly which songs we did sing. I know that Sandy Paton and I, and others, have previously talked about this.

I cannot end this post without mentioning my concern that we now seem to have already entered another shameful period in america wherein we are agin, at the same point we were in 1949 - 50 - 51 etc. CHEERS, Bob
