Some of us first ran across Oscar Brand for his bawdy song recordings, back when no one was doing such recordings. Then we learned more about him for his work in jump-starting folk music after his service in World War 2. And then we grew to appreciate the decades in which he produced a folk music radio show out of NYC. He never bowed to political pressure during the McCarthy Period and he was a mentor to generations of younger singers. Respect!
