Amen.

"I woke up this mornin' and you were on my mind ..." (Sylvia Tyson, not Pete Seeger — but nonetheless ...)

Not an auspicious start to the day.

The New York Times obit nicely portrays the political swamp of the 1950s and 1960s, especially HUAC. The only bright lights were wonderful folk groups like the Weavers and for a short time 'Camelot'.

I marched with Pete Seeger on the UN – effete organization that it was and still is – in the fall of 1960. Ugly (cold, rainy) weather.

Time to go listen to my old Weavers LPs in tribute.

[By the bye, Jon, isn't Beacon in your bailiwick? How'd you like to buy 17 acres on the Hudson for $100/acre these days?]
