02 Jun 05 - 07:41 AM (#1498074) Subject: Happy! - June 2 From: Abby Sale Happy Birthday! Roy G. Berkeley (who revealed unto us "The Twelve Days of Marxmas" in 1956) was born 6/2/1935 In recent years, Mr Berkeley has generously revealed unto us some of more arcane and mystical meanings behind the great song. He also co-founded the New York Folk Singers Guild and served as the first Chairman of that organization; was the first folk singer to sing in a coffee-house in the Village (the Gaslight), starting (for better or worse) The Great Fok Scare of the Sixties. Also history scholar & teacher of labor history. Copyright © 2005, Abby Sale - all rights reserved What are Happy's all about? See Clicky |
