Hi, now this book sounds interesting to me as I used to listen to the
Weavers and I heard that documentary Wasn't That a Time on PBS. I think
the only thing I couldn't do is the image description part. I think
you'd need someone else for that, but I think I could manage the text.
Regards, Kim Friedman. P.S.: Do you wanta team to work on this one for
you or would you prefer somebody who can proofread both the text and
describe images? K.

Title: Sing Out, Warning! Sing Out, Love!: The Writings Of Lee Hays
Author(s):Lee Hays, Robert S. Koppelman (Editor) Publisher:University of
Massachusetts Press Copyright Date:2003 Copyrighted By:University of
Massachusetts Press Brief Synopsis:A collection of published and
unpublished writings by Lee
Hays the bass singer and songwriting member of The Weavers (Pete Seeger,
Ronnie Gilbert, Fred Hellerman.)
Long Synopsis:For fans and scholars of American Folk Music, particularly
the
folk song movement, this has some essential reading, much of which has
previously not been published. Lee Hays (1914-1981) is remembered today
as
the bass singer of the Weavers, the popular folksinging quartet that
included Pete Seeger and was blacklisted during the early years of the
cold
war. Hays is especially well known for his collaborations with Seeger on
a
number of political songs, including "The Hammer Song," and for his
central
role in producing Wasn't That a Time!, the 1981 film documentary about
the
Weavers. But he was also a talented, multifaceted writer of prose. In
"Sing
Out, Warning! Sing Out, Love!" Robert S. Koppelman brings together a
selection of Hays's published and unpublished literary output and places
the
author and his work in historical context. In these writings, Hays
emerges
as a learned, incisive, and witty advocate of a new aesthetic that he
helped
introduce to American culture-an aesthetic grounded in the music of both
the
Methodist church of his father and the black churches of his Arkansas
neighbors. Hays honed his participatory, inspirational musical style and
his
skills as a song leader while working in the southern labor movement,
where
he became acquainted with the left-wing notion of "Art as a Weapon." Yet
as
the autobiographical pieces in this collection make clear, it was not
until
he moved to New York City, teamed up with such iconic folk figures as
Woody
Guthrie and Seeger, and began performing before a mass public that he
fully
matured as a musical artist with a political message. In addition to
documenting the trajectory of Hays's career, the volume includes samples
of
his well-crafted work as a writer of fiction and creative nonfiction.
Together these writings reveal Hays to be an artist of diverse personal
talents and deep social commitment. Robert S. Koppelman is assistant
professor of English at Broward Community College and a banjo player and
singer.
