Thank you for that Starship, I have played one track and will look at the whole link later.
Jim, please don't lecture me, I was a YCL member during the last revival and understand exactly what was happening. There was protest and even revolution in the air, civil rights in America and anti-nuclear/anti war protest in UK, the left tried to tie folk music to a political agenda, fortunately the young musicians were not interested in totalitarianism and bought into personal freedom. It took me many years to work out that the trade off worked in the negative...something that Seeger and MacColl never came to terms with.
