Nutty-

Thanks for the link above to background information on the Workers Music Association and the early stages of the folk music revival; it's more extensive than what I had access to 20 years ago. I did correspond at the time with Alan Bush, president of the WMA, but he couldn't provide more information on B. Woolf.

I don't know if you had checked my "hot link" above to the "Origin of Pity the Downtrodden Landlord" thread. If so you would see much the same information displayed about the song and the Unity Theatre group. The frustration, I have is that no one seems to be able to nail the first name of the composer or tell me anything about him/her.

Please post new information or leads on that thread.
