THE ALMANAC SINGERS, 1941: WOODY GUTHRIE, LEE HAYS, MILLARD LAMPELL, PETESEEGER.

By some odd coincidence, back in June the civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton and NY schools Chancellor Joel Klein held a joint news conference in Washington DC to announce...
... Happy, five years older, passed on to him his musical discoveries. In 1954, Happy attended a PeteSeeger concert and was drawn into the folk music web; Artie then joined him to become part of a clique of folkies that gravitated from the outer boroughs into Manhattan.

... a throwback to the 1940s, an old-fashioned agitator with a guitar in the mode of Woody Guthrie and PeteSeeger.That was an easy point to make Sunday night; in fact, Earle made it himself, twice — once at the very beginning with “Christmas in Washington,” a musical summons to bring back Woody’s ghost, and then near the end with “Steve’s Hammer.” The latter is a kind of answer song...
Without Woody Guthrie, there would be no PeteSeeger and no Dylan, Donovan or Byrds. There would be no "This Land is Your Land," "If I Had a Hammer," "Turn, Turn, Turn," and no Dust Bowl Ballads. The trajectory of American folk music would be forever thrown off its established vector. The poor, oppressed and otherwise dispossessed would be without an acoustic champion...
