I’m Union and I’m Proud: Eddie Starr
September 6, 2010"Songs of the American labor movement over the 20th century called for just wages, dignity, and a fair shake. They voiced grievances, affirmed the value of the worker to society, and expressed hope for life in a more just world. Classic Labor Songs from Smithsonian Folkways is a collage of these voices—champions of the movement, singing songs with a passion and love for their fellow workers that rings just as true today as it did then. Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Joe Glazer, the Almanac Singers, and more chronicle the history of the American labor movement in stirring song."
That is the description from Smithsonian Folkways of the album from which this song comes.
When You Wish Upon a Star: Cliff Edwards
September 5, 2010He can call himself Cliff Edwards as much as he wants, but I know he's really Jiminy Cricket.
Then Came the Children: Paul Siebel
September 5, 2010You know I play Paul Siebel a lot here. He has long been a favorite of mine, since the early 70's in fact. I have both of his albums; that's it, two albums.
This is from 1970's Woodsmoke and Oranges. I've played most of the songs here already, but I'll probably play them again.
Playmates: The Fontane Sisters
September 5, 2010This was a hit for them in 1955. The song is from The Very Best of the Fontane Sisters. The sisters were Bea, Geri and Marge Rosse.
