Or a conservative ...

My parents listened to mostly folk music. I was brought up listening to the
Weavers and Burl Ives, the Kingston Trio and Harry Belafonte.

The earliest song I can remember hearing (I must have been 4 or 5) is Odetta
singing "Another Man Done Gone". It is forever etched in my memory - a song
that lays bare the soul of people stripped of everything. My introduction to
the song form as a powerful story, even though there's few words. No "music"
except for Odetta's voice and her hands clapping. I heard it again about two
years ago - and it was _exactly_ as I remembered it from 30 years prior.

I'm sure the Southern chain gang bosses thought that song in "bad taste".
