Thread Name: Stories/Shanties of Hjalmar Rutzebeck
Subject: RE: Stories/Shanties of Hjalmar Rutzebeck
Oh, My! I just found out that my long-time neighbor is the daughter of Hjalmar Rutzebeck. He apparently (besides his adventures at sea, and in Alaska) was leader of an early socialist commune in Santa Barbara, CA. He was featured in a book by Upton Sinclair called "Co-op" I am very interested in finding out more about this recording.
