For all its bumps, bruises and warts, what you have just read, folks, is one of the reasons that this village we call Mudcat is a precious gem. Frank Hamilton was there, and on the front lines. Where else do you get the likes of him, Jean Ritchie, Sandy and Caroline Paton, Mark Ross, and Art Thieme.

Thanks, once again, Friend Frank. This is one 30 year Union Organizer and lifetime folkie, who can't find enough ways to express his gratitude for your "real deal" insights on the times.

All the best,

Mick
