Do you suppose this is the same Bob DeCormier who in the summer of 1953 led the kids at Camp Woodlands (Phonecia, NY) in a cantata he had written called "Sojourner Truth"? I wonder if you might ask him for me ?

I'm quite sure it would be the same. I will ask him, however. Bob has always been involved in issues of social change, "Sojourner Truth" sounds right up his alley!

(And of course does he still have a copy of the music? My sister and I were both at the camp that year. I can still sing the refrain, but nothing more; I'd love to see/hear it again from a more mature viewpoint!)

Oh. We were napping. And they don't seem to have any sound files.

I tried, vocal etaoin, to catch your group on the Tuscaloosa station at 1:45 CDT + but Performance Today had Wagner running into the 2:00 news, and Wagner needed a lot of time.
I'm proud of you all anyway.

Etoin,
Unfortunately, I too missed the performance yesterday, but I thought of it often as I rushed about with last minute (food) shopping for unexpected friends and relatives who are on the way.
In my youth I lived with my own Roger, a jazz musician/composer, now passed away. So I have always been fond of your posts. His mother and father were folkies who sang with the Weavers; perhaps they crossed paths with your Director. Anyway, from that wonderful immersion in the lives of musicians, I will always support these fine folk, anyway that I can. Thank you for sharing that with us here.
Blessings, to all of you....MagiMaria

Often they do. I was surprised that PT doesn't.
