Subject: Happy! - Mar 9 (Will Geer) From: Abby Sale Date: 09 Mar 06 - 07:59 AM Happy Birthday! Will Geer was born 3/9/1902 in Frankfort, Indiana (d.4/22/1978) Agitator / radical / actor / folksinger / folklorist / ceilidhist / blacklistee Geer toured U.S. government work camps in the 1930s, singing with Woody Guthrie and Burl Ives. He introduced Pete Seeger to Woody Guthrie at a migrant-worker benefit concert, thus inventing modern folk music.
