I love this old commies music,

I confess. I do too. I've even picked a few bars of their stuff around the campfire.

PS-- You're right, they are commies.

Why is it that commies and the devil recognize the power of music and the rest of us don't?????

Well, that's not exactly true. A minister once said more people were won to Christ by music than by words.

WE SHOULD NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF MUSIC, POETRY AND ART!

And by the way: flashdemo.net

<<Pete Seeger>>

His song "Edmond Fitzgerald" really hit me as I saw that ship in Superior, Wisconsin two months before she sank. Huge ship.

Funny thing, I got a token for a free beer from a bar in Superior in 1984. Sent it to Oral Roberts last year and they honored it. Choo Choo Bar and Grill.

Communist Party Donates Once-Secret Archives To NYU
wnbc.com

On display in an NYU library are the handwritten lyrics to "Turn! Turn! Turn!" -- a 1950s peace song by Pete Seeger, who told The Associated Press that he had been "a card-carrying party member."

Also on display is the original will of songwriter and labor organizer Joe Hill, written in verse with a pencil just before his 1915 execution by firing squad in Utah, for a murder some believe he didn't commit. The verse, "My Will is easy to decide/ For there is nothing to divide," later was part of a labor anthem.

Hill inspired Seeger, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, who sang "I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night" in 1969 at Woodstock.
