[I was lucky enough to hear these women singing together at the
Smoky Mountain Folk Festival in Gatlinburg, TN in 1968.
I got a ride back to Birmingham with an unusual woman and her
family who made me so nervous I got out of the car in some unknown
place and hitch-hiked. The fellow who picked me up drove over a
hundred miles an hour and just about scared me to death but somehow
I made it back to beautiful Homewood and then on to my first semester
at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa]

recollection of Isaiah 59:1-2: Behold, the Lord's hand is not

and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.]

F.D. Kirkpatrick and Jim Collier; Burn Baby Burn; The Best of Broadside; Smithsonian-Folkways [5 CD set with extensive documentation including a varied collection of songs featured in the Cunningham-Friesen issues of Broadside Magazine, NYC. Having just seen the moving film, Ghosts of Mississippi, I felt compelled to play a song by a guy who most probably knew and worked with the film's central historical character, NAACP's first Field Secretary in Jackson, Medgar Evers. Frederick Douglas Kirkpatrick, Jr. grew up in northern Louisiana, played college football at Grambling, worked as music director with MLK, Jr. at Resurrection City on the National Mall in DC and founded 'Hey Brother Coffeehouse' in NYC, the city where he died of viral hepatitis (wasn't it?) after refusing medical care. I'd always thought that his stubborn solidarity with the poor who had little to no access to medical care led to his seemingly-unnecessary martyr's death, but maybe I'm totally wrong. I'd be interested in hearing from other people who knew this unusual freedom fighter and minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Let's put together a Brother Kirk memorial webpage featuring his music and photos. Can you help with info, material or labor?]

Sis Cunningham; But If You Ask Them; Best of Broadside; Smithsonian-Folkways
[about the difficulties Aunt Molly Jackson faced when trying to collect needed royalties from her fans for the use of her popular pro-labor songs such as 'Which Side Are You On?' Sis and her husband Gordon Friesen founded Broadside Magazine in their 'gub'mint' housing forty years ago publishing songs by some of our favorite songwriters before we'd ever heard of them.]
(*) Cynthia Jean Givens; Soften My Soul
Eck Robertson; Sally Goodin; There Is No Eye: Music For Photographs; Smithsonian-Folkways
[rousing solo fiddle tune recorded by photographer-musician-aural historian John Cohen in Robertson's home]
