I'm trying to remember if he was included in a record that included Josh White and the Almanacs singing songs against drafting people shortly before America entered WWII. Josh White was on it, and Pete Seeger. I can't remember if Burl was there. I think the album was called "Songs for John Doe" but I'm not sure. Of course, after Russia and the U.S. become allies against Hitler, nobody was singing such songs anymore, but I can still hear Josh singing something like:

"Do you want to see the world, Billy Boy, Billy Boy Do you want to see the world, charming Billy?" "No, it wouldn't be much thrill To die for Goodyear in Brazil; I'm a young thing and cannot leave my mother."

What I want to know is whether Burl was on that ill-fated album as well.
