Class act 1: I dreamed I saw Joe Hill last night
Regular readers will know that I don't post in August. However this year I'm putting up a series of "songs from the sixties" that pick up the theme of social class. This is the sort of music I used to listen to as a teenager.
First up is Joe Hill, this version by Paul Robeson, but the most famous version in the sixties was from Joan Baez. Joe Hill was a union organiser who was framed on a murder charge.
