On several other notes, a good friend in Oz sent me this extremely good ABC programme.
I've not completely finished listening to it, but I think it is fascinating. I had thought that I knew a lot about this, and a lot of the singers involved. But the programme taught me a great deal indeed. The songs contained are of course, amazing. But they themselves are well put into context by a well informed interview with Aaron J. Leonard. The programme is largely based on the book by Leonard: "The Folk Singers and the Bureau: The FBI, the Folk Artists and the Suppression of the Communist Party, USA-1939-1956 and Whole World in an Uproar: Music, Rebellion and Repression - 1955-1972, Repeater Books." -> Link-> https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/musicshow/aaron-leonard-folk-singer-activist-blacklist-communist-fbi-files/104409876?utm_content=mail&utm_medium=content_shared -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
