Folks, It'd be fun to have a sing-in at convention.  the history of 
the movement is captured in these old songs.  I only know a few of 
them, but like the best of songs that track a movement, they are easy 
to learn and have very singable choruses which a person can  join in 
with in a flash.  What do you say, Marion?  I bet you know lots of 
these.  It's a marvelous way of teaching the history of the movement, 
and it'd be a shame if these songs disappeared.  I'd be glad to lend 
my banjo playing to the event. all we need is a strong singer who 
knows the songs.

Peace,
Sheri W-J
