Thread Name: Big Red Songbook (IWW)[Archie Green, et al., 2007]
Subject: RE: Origins: Big Red Songbook
In the notes section of this quite fascinating book Archie Green and all reflect on the idea of FIELD RECORDINGS. They say the tapes I made of Paul Durst in 1961 are just about the only ones ever made of a Wobbly songster -- except Harry Haywire Mac McClintock's recording an interview and singing his songs for Sam Eskin. I'd been telling folks about these old tapes I made of Paul for close to 50 years now---and it feels real good for some notice to be made of Paul, his songs---but mainly his life.
Archie Green, if you're out there, thanks so much!!
