DESCRIPTION:The Almanac Singers \nIn the summer of 1941, a musical group of labor 
 activists known as “The Almanac Singers” climbed into a midnight blue 
 Buick and blazed a trail across the USA, spreading the gospel of unionism 
 and bringing folk music back to the people. The group, with members Woody 
 Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Lee Hays & Mill Lampell, created a new kind of 
 topical music, using old folk melodies to tell the stories of the times. 
 They played in union halls, on picket lines, theaters, and radio shows, 
 planting seeds wherever they went. The Almanacs’ now almost-mythical 
 journey has become an inspiration for legions of musicians, free thinkers, 
 and gasoline gypsies, and has paved the road for many of today’s 
 singer/songwriters. At the core of it were some of the greatest labor songs 
 ever written, including “Union Maid,” “Talking Union,” and “Which 
 Side Are You On?”\nSome seventy years later, “Totem Pole” Rik Palieri 
 and George Mann are traveling down the road from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles, 
 up the west coast and then from Seattle to Buffalo, singing at some of the 
 same places and towns, and inviting local musicians to join in, as in the 
 original tour. The Almanac Trail will be like an old-fashioned 
 “Hootenanny”-- an evening of history, music and fun for all 
 generations!\n Sponsored by ILWU Local 10 Education Committee.\n For more
