Ya'know I'm not that thrilled listening to when the women sing the song...though the Ronnie Glibert one is I think hte best of them.

Weavers...? Hmm Danny will know..I'll ask 'em.

Patti this is the Weavers version Ronnie Gilbert was in the original group with Lee Hays,Fred Hellerman and Pete Seeger- after Seeger left the group Eric Darling joined-

You should listen to their stuff from the late 40s early 50s--wonderful sound and as you can hear RG had a great voice --that whole musical era from the end of WWII to the end of the Korean Police Action was so rich in talent and diverse in style...

Yes, I've heard the music, but didt' know The Weavers. No excus, I lived a sorta "sheltered" life.

Hubby, of course, new ALLLLLLLLLL about them. I asked him this morning...lol! My "education of patti" continues...

He's working for Ronnie Milsap http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a30R_drH2GA

And James Montgomery...hmm. I met James many times...nice guy. Hubby brought home bunnies from James Manager many years ago.

Been one of my favorite bands for a couple of decades. Eric Burdon was the real deal...Chas Chandler did pretty well with that guy Hendrix too, huh?

I think not, I'm pretty sure the one I have is from the Seeger era, and perhaps with a tad more vigor. It's the only one I've heard so far that I like better than the Animals rock version (though i haven't listened to many of these yet).
