Lately I am reading old posts that I remarked in many years ago. I am surprised how often I would post differently and how often I wouldn't. In the years I have been away or posted very little my mind has changed some. As far as this post goes I haven't changed my mind. Phil Ochs, Malvina Reynolds and Tom Paxton. But I am also going to say that early on we only considered English language music. In my case, since I am not bi-ligual, I have no other experience. Were there Cuban protest singers? Iranian? Chilean? Pakistani? Other people, with voices, in peril? I wish I knew. Don
