Steve, I would really appreciate if you would track Barrie down; it's usually fun to reconnect with our mentors. I'm not in a hurry to get new information but I would like to see the old housing songs network refreshed as we say. I never did get to hear "Songs for Swinging Landlords" but I certainly saw it cited. I play a more modest role in co-producing "We Won't Move", songs of the tenants' movement on Folkways FS 5287 back in 1983; I wonder if it will be re-released on CD by Smithsonian. There were some wonderful songs on that including ones by Malvina Reynolds, Langston Hughes and Leon Rosselson. LD
