I could not agree more. Yet, website from Arlo not withstanding, there was a lot more to him.   

A few notes:

During the Blacklist days booking once again The Weavers in Carnegie Hall for a reuntion concert.   Interesting details to that.

To the end he had his humble offices on West 57 St in NYC which were also the repository ( to my knowledge) of the Woody Guthrie archives.

On 2 Personal notes:

Many years ago I really wanted tickets to a particular concert---I called (it was sold out) and I was told to go to 57th St office and but a pair. I ended up seated with Peter Paul Mary and more---I called a week later to thank Harold---and in his gruff voice he said---Hope you liked the show , Tony--Tony---he did not even know who he sold the tickets to---it is known as access to a person.

Finally---I saw him recently going to the Jacob Burns Film Ctr in Pleasantville NY for a showing of Wasn't that A Time---met him in front anw we chatted a bit. After the showing he fieleded questions---and here is the funny part. In the film they talked of union organizing, labor and such. In the Q & A period the question to him came up---what were your big problems in booking concerts at, say, Carnegie Hall---Harold L. response---Damned Unions.

You gotta love that honesty.


Bu the way that all was followed by the group Work O The Weavers. I thought---how will they follow all this---a standing ovation followed.
