1. Thanks!

I adore this man.

3. Same here

His grandfather was an abolitionist and his father was a socialist - great roots

4. And . . .

when he was with the Weavers he was blacklisted for being a "commie." Times like this I wish I did have TV service.

Damn he can play a banjo - perfect selection

I didn't know who he was, and I was talking to him at an arts festival here in Sheboygan.
Great guy.

He starts singing, my jaw goes straight down.
