Vintage 1974 Other folks will cherish this book for the songs; songs of growing old and having your work run out on you. Songs about the shinning airplane "Enola Gay." Songs of old friends like the legendary Spanish Civil War veteran pianist, Eddie Balchowsky, and tramp friends like Hood River Blackie and Mark Ross. This book still covers all of the standards such as "The Green Rolling Hills of West Virginia," "The Goodnight-Loving Trail," and "Rocksalt and Nails," but it has few hidden gems as well. Songs like "Rice and Beans," a song about the disappeared children in Nicaragua during the Somoza's dictatorship, and "Pig Hollow," the story of an old tramp jungle on the outskirts of Ogden, Utah, long since burned down by the law. This book has it the stories of people and places, times and events, two million-plus miles traveled over forty-plus years tramping his country; our country. But to me, it will still be a little, brown, tattered, ninety-six page security blanket. Duncan Phillips Salt Lake City, Utah.
