Completely forgot, cadet/private Pete Seeger was just one promotion away from USAAF Tech before the FBI got their hooks in him (Keesler Field, Biloxi, MS.) “A number of the songs we used to sing back in Air Force training camps one doesn't hear much of….. the numerous marching ditties, such as “I've Got Sixpence”, “Ten More Miles to Go”, etc. However, this famous one is still sung: “The coffee that they give you “They say is mighty fine, “It's good for cuts and bruises “And tastes like iodine. Chorus: I don't want no more of army life Gee but I want to go home!” [Report from the Marianas: Notes of an Innocent Bystander, Seeger, 1945] Report from the Marianas Playwright Neil Simon passed through Biloxi at about the same time (Biloxi Blues). Name to the contrary, many of the Tuskeegee Airmen were also trained & stationed at Biloxi.
