@TheAMCampbell Always the climax of his performance, he would introduce this song to an intimidated audience by saying that "twice in my life I have witnessed the rape of Czechoslovakia". Heaven help anyone who spoke!
You could have cut the atmosphere with a knife. I am sure that my attitude to politicians - those CHEATS who would take us to war again - was influenced by him and by Orwell and Steinbeck whose books I was reading at that time.
The performance was so RAW. Well, he had had a couple.

Thank, thanks a lot. Your father Alex was one of the best and diligently musician, always helps to bring people together and promoting folk music everywhere.
I remember many nights in the"Vognhjulet" "Wagon Wheel" in Copenhagen, and many good weeks at festivals where Alex was always good for a song.
Alex Been on the road so long, for us, for you and for me, Thanks Alex.
Honor him be memorial forever.
