No problem Brian.

The funniest (I guess) thing I read about HUAC calling musicians was their hunt for Lee Hays. Apparently they sent all their paperwork to a very non-political actor also named "Lee Hays" and scared the crap out of him. Naturally he had nothing to tell them. The "folksinging" Lee took the fifth.

Yeah Paw. I've read Seeger's testimony many times and always wondered if I'd have had the guts to act the way he did. The answer always comes down to "no". I think, despite his socialist bent, he's always had some kind of respect for the system and felt it should be challenged "head on", even if it meant jail. He even appeared in jacket and tie.

Me? I would probably have headed off to Britain like Lomax did. Even before watching "OZ" on the tube, I knew prison was not a place I'd ever wanna be.

You DID have the guts to challenge the system a number of years ago, and I admire you greatly for that.
