I met him back in the late 1970s, I was hoping to get the Park Service to work with him on collecting immigrant songs to use in a program or exhibits at Ellis Island (where I was working at the time). Brand was willing, but the NPS dragged their feet and I had to let that one go. Too bad, it would have been fascinating.
