Thread Name: Life of Burl Ives
Subject: RE: Life of Burl Ives
MGM ,but that does not make his work less important. I would now rather listen to Lunsfords collections than some of IVES Syrup as I keep trying to say,Ives became a populariser,because of his actions,other people could not work, Ives could,why?because he testified. IVES was talented,but he had opportunities denied to others, WHY? we should remember all the people who were denied work because of IVES and others,remember Robeson and Seeger. WHY did the real villans the AMERICAN GOVERNMENT feel it was necessary to have awitch hunt?can I have an answer please?
