Sharing the stage with Pete Seeger, Dar Williams and all of the rest is a highly recommended activity! I was only happy to help with outreach but the actual organizers---Michael Moose Dmoch, Sarah Underhill and Mark Morganstern---deserve all of the credit for a great fundraiser. As a labor organizer and musician, I feel a strong kinship to all others who hold both of those designations; Joe Hill is probably the best known, but Utah stands tall in this branch of the people's army, Cultural Workers. More power to Utah Phillips.....get well soon, comrade. John Pietaro It was absolutely wonderful to be a part of this event, performing with my duet the Flames of Discontent.
