There's also another album, same label, called "Songs of the Wobblies". |

31 Aug 04 - 08:59 PM (#1261214) Subject: RE: Joe Glazer - Ballads for Sectarians From: GUEST,Chanteyranger I have an album of 78's called "Songs Of Citizen CIO," sung by Joe Glazer. Not, of course, one of the albums you mentioned, but pretty close. If you're looking for information on the Labor Arts label, I can take a look at that and post some info. Chanteyranger |

01 Sep 04 - 02:38 PM (#1261809) Subject: RE: Joe Glazer - Ballads for Sectarians From: Joe Offer This Google Search brings up some information on Songs for Sectarians, but not a whole lot. All but one song from Ballads is on the Bear Family collection, Songs for Political Action. Here are the songs included:
Chanteyranger, what songs are on Songs Of Citizen CIO? I thought that one was by Tom Glazer and Josh White, but I may be confused. -Joe Offer- Speaking of Bill Friedland, see I Wanna Marry a Trotskyite and give me a hand with the tune. Also be sure to see the Socialist Songbook and this page (click) of information on Joe Glazer and Bill Friedland. |

No More Blues We've Got a Plan Socialist Worker's Talking Blues I'm Gonna Put My Name Down Freedom Road Chanteyranger, is this the album you're referring to? -Joe Offer- |

04 Sep 04 - 02:35 AM (#1264029) Subject: RE: Joe Glazer - Ballads for Sectarians From: John in Brisbane On 12 December 1972 I'd finished playing a gig and went to a celebratory party at the home of a successful MP. Labor had won its first Federal election in 23 years. There was a pianist there playing all sorts of workers songs. One was a parody of the Communists/Socialists anthem which included "..while lying there in sweet repose, a breath of wind blew off her clothes...". The tune is also used for a Christmas carol, but be blowed if I can remember the name of it! Is it '______ Tree'? The tune should be easy - anyone know the parody? Regards, John PS Joe, the reason I thought of this was because your Trotsky song could (possibly) be shoe-horned into the chorus. |

04 Sep 04 - 03:49 AM (#1264045) Subject: RE: Joe Glazer - Ballads for Sectarians From: Joe Offer Hi, John - that's a parody of "The Red Flag," and both the original and the parody are in the DT. Gargoyle posted a more complete version of the parody here (click) in a Rugby song thread. -Joe Offer- |

04 Sep 04 - 09:43 AM (#1264146) Subject: RE: Joe Glazer - Ballads for Sectarians From: Bob Bolton G'day John & Joe, And, of course, the banal tune they ended up using for The Red Flag was Tannenbaun ... or, in its English iteration, The Christmas Tree. They apparently rejected the original tune - The White Cockade! Regards, Bob |

His company COLLECTORS RECORDS is run by his son-in-law--at least at the sales end. Joe's discography is huge. You can also get Joe's recordings from the Labor Heritage Foundation in Washington D.C. --- or try George Meany Cnter in Silver Spring.

Are you still there anywhere, Gina? I am still singing that lovely song about the Little Brown Dog that you taught me in a Wimpy bar once in return for a few of my chips. Susie Shahn was with us, I recall, & I think Robin Hall also. Traditional greetings Michael |

06 Aug 10 - 12:04 PM (#2959493) Subject: RE: Joe Glazer - Ballads for Sectarians From: Felipa My father had the Ballad for Sectarians record and song sheets. I remember for instance, My Darling Party Line/In Old Moscow (tune Clementine)mentioned above. I didn't notice it among his effects - he may have already donated ~Ballads for Sectarians to Labor History Archives?. I asked my brother and sister to keep an eye out, but there is so much clutter that even IF the lyric sheets are in the apartment they might get dumped. So I'd love to hear from anyone, such as Sturgis, who can supply a copy (maybe photocopies and cd copied from vinyl?) |

I see there is a Joe Glazer mp3 listing on the internet. I haven't checked what is on it; he did make more recent (and more easily available) recordings. |

I heard it on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAjRLLa5YFE I learned "My Darling Party Line" in my youth because my father had a "Ballad for Sectarians" song booklet. Of course I already knew the Darling Clementine tune. You can also find that trackof Ballads for Sectarians on you tube. It's about the 1939 Hitler - Stalin pact. My Darling Party Line In ol' Moscow, in the Kremlin, In the fall of thirty nine Sat a Russian and a Prussian Writing out the party line Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling party line Oh, I never will desert you For I love this life of mine Leon Trotsky was a Nazi, Oh, we knew it for a fact. Pravda said it, we all read it Before the Stalin-Hitler Pact Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling party line Oh, I never will desert you For I love this life of mine Once a Nazi would be shotsy That was then the party line Now a Nazi's hotsy-totsy, Trotsky's laying British mines Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling party line Oh, I never will desert you For I love this life of mine Now the Nazis and Der Fuehrer Stand within the party line All the Russians love the Prussians Volga boatmen sail the Rhine Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling party line Oh, I never will desert you For I love this life of mine |
