***Songs
To While The Time By- The Roots Is The Toots-Cab Calloway's Cover Of Saint James Infirmary
Over
the past several years I have been running an occasional series in this space of songs, mainly political protest songs, you
know The Internationale, Union Maid, Which Side Are You On, Viva La Quince
Brigada, Universal Soldier, and
such entitled Songs To While The Class
Struggle By. This series which could include some protest songs as well is
centered on roots music as it has come down the ages and formed the core of the
American songbook. You will find the odd, the eccentric, the forebears of later
musical trends, and the just plain amusing here. Listen up-Peter Paul
