Subject: RE: the Little Red Songbook--I.W.W.
It is a beauty, eh Art? I love mine, and knew you would love it too!! The gift you made me of the Durst tape is one that I will be a long time repaying.

A thought occurs to me. The real value in this book is that it teaches the importance of lending our voices to the struggle. It has always been the bards that have stepped up to lend structure to the voices of those desiring a better life. It has always been the bards that gave words and tunes to the struggle for justice and fairness. If you get the book, read it, and put it away, it will simply be a book gathering dust. If you read the book, sing the songs, and then become inspired to lend your voice, words and music to the fight, the book will have fulfilled its mission.
