Jerry: I've been meaning to read "The Duty of Delight: The Diaries of Dorothy Day." Have you read it? The folk connection is that I had never heard of Dorothy Day or the Catholic Worker Movement until I started listening to the songs and stories of Utah Phillips. I just heard that "Singing Through the Hard Times: A Tribute To Utah Phillips" has been nominated for a Grammy! It's a great collection of songs by a variety of artists including Tom Paxton, Gordon Bok, Si Kahn, and Mark Ross. An extraordinary collection! I just heard a song tonight by Richard Spence of the Porch Band entitled "Hank Williams is moving to Oregon." If only he'd traded in the Cadillac for a VW micro-bus!
