And since I'll hopefully be getting a copy of the Second Edition, "The Ballad Of Pete Seeger" will be listed instead as "The Ballad Of A Party Singer"

Van Ronk talks of it in his memoir, "The Mayor Of MacDougal Street" (DeCapo Press 2006):


"The Bosses' Songbook" was popular in our circle and caused a fair amount of irritation in others. I was told on good authority that Pete was thinking of suing us, and for our second printing, we changed the title......(Dick Ellington remembered this quite differently. He heard that Pete found the song funny and actually performed it a few times, and as proof presented Pete's order for three songbooks.)




And thanks to Joe for starting the thread!
