He would have a lot of work to do, if he was around nowadays .<br /><br />Robert Bastian<br />Robert Grant Yes he would! I was there as 8 yr old to watch him during Army-McCarthy Congressional Hearings . American Press and Media lambasted and crucified him.<br />One can criticize and excoriate him for his rough, tactless behavior, sarcastic personality, prodigious familiarity with alcohol and etc. etc. BUT: he was ABSOLUTELY correct in his research and findings of communists throughout State Dept. and Defense Dept. He was right & justified in his cause!!<br /><br />Robert Grant<br />Robert Bastian he had list of commies in wheeling speech nobody ever saw them<br /><br />Graham Baird<br />Robert Mandt did not know that to me he was a great Americain Musician.. .,who lived like an Americain .. who wrote and played great songs<br /><br />Robert Mandt<br />Graham Baird he was about as far left as you can get.<br /><br />Graham Baird<br />Robert Mandt Robert<br />My friends are middle .,Right and Left ..

Thanks to my neighbour Mr. Lim, a teacher then who would blast their songs over for us kampung kids and exposing us to The Weavers, America’s premier and most influential “folk group”. Still remember this song recorded in May 1963 by The Weavers. <br /><br />In 1966, a version by American vocal group the Sandpipers got a gold record based on an arrangement by the Weavers. So fortunate to have watched the Sandpipers sang this song live in Singapore in 1973 too.<br />👍❤️🥰… <br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s47nKRKfq2AFRED CHINGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-32041337625467879272022-06-13T20:43:17.643+08:002022-06-13T20:43:17.643+08:00Ivor Lesslar

Later on the DJs or Radio Announcers were directed to name the song a few times on the programme to inform the listening public.<br /><br />Thanks for keeping in touch FL.<br /><br />Just for your information, we just had Penang char-kway-teow and Penang laksa for lunch earlier.

Used to hear these songs over the radio in the early sixties. In those years, Singapore had only one English radio station on medium wave (MW). Correct me if I m wrong. Back then, I tuned to the radio and they happened to play the songs I liked very much but I did not know the titles. But the big disappointment to me then was the radio station did not repeat the song titles ! It is truly those were the days !FLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429286415685838183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-59829077084826371842022-06-11T11:22:24.327+08:002022-06-11T11:22:24.327+08:00Hi guys, thanks for the response on this post.
