Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Great American Dream (Massengill)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: JOAN BAEZ Immigrant Song
As you saw from posts probably, it was David Massengill's "Great American Dream". I never saw it on TV... that would have been great. That version (LIVE, possibly at the "Bottom Line" in NYC) with Joan, Lucy Kaplansky & others is by far the best version. I had it on a cassette, but lost it. As was stated, you CAN order the version with just David singing it on his CD (Amazon or others). Great stuff.

I'll try to post the lyrics if I find them. A couple of them I've never been able to understand. If you are really intrested in ordering the early recording (avail. on cassette only) w/ Joan Baez et al. live, I could contact David and order one for you.
