Thread Name: Earl Robinson stories?
Subject: RE: Earl Robinson stories?
Stew,

As you know, I've been remembering and re-visiting those old times in Seattle in the 50's. This was the time and the place where some much was happenning in folk music and politics. The communist witch hunts were active, the blacklist was active, and folks like Earl Robinson were active.

When I read his autobiography, I was surprised to learn that another person that influenced me greatly, Keve Bray, also moved in the same circles. Keve and I, and several other Seattle folkies, wrote and performed several plays that today, would lead you to believe that Earl Robinson wrote them!

It's a shame that, at 16, I hadn't the wisdom I have at 70. If I had, I'd have listened more and kept better diarys. CHEERS, Bob
