Subject: RE: What's on your CD player lately ??
Funny you should ask right at this moment !?

The mail just arrived with a CD of U. Utah Phillips #77 LOAFER'S GLORY radio show in which Bruce used interview tape recordings I made in 1961 of the 93 year old Wobbly (I.W.W. union member) PAUL DURST. I just heard it the first time and I've got tears in my eyes. That's for real. I've always known it was a valuable interview, but Mr. Phillips used tapes of friends of his doing ths songs Paul sang interspersed with the actual captured dialoge and song snippets of Paul Durst singing and fiddling. It was obviously a labor of love for Utah and I'm honored by his attention to those long ago interviews I did with this historically important gentleman when I was 20 years old. If you go to a U. Utah Phillips site, I'm sure you can hear it too. If it's not archived there yet, I'm sure it will be soon.

All the best,
