Skip Gorman has my personal favorite recording of this song---on a recent CD on Rounder---A GREENER PRAIRIE.

I recorded it on my first record---KM-15---Kicking Mule Records--1974 or 5---A. T. "Outright Boldfaced Lies"--live at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago. I got all the historical details wrong as I'd learned it that way from Frank Hamilton (a founder of the O.T.S.F.M. and former member of the WEAVERS)whose recording of it on his "Folksinger's Folksinger" LP. The marvelous Faith Petric wrote me a letter informing me in no uncertain terms that I'd gotten it WRONG---WRONG--WRONG.
