Thanks. I write from a little town in Italy, at 15 km from the house where Vanzetti was born... he was a great man, as Sacco, and as Woody...

(That was the pamphlet in Vanzetti's pockets when he was arrested)

Also these songs are beautiful

You have fought all the wars. You have worked for all the capitalists. You have wandered over all the countries. Have you harvested the fruits of your labors, the price of your victories? Does the past comfort you? Does the present smile on you? Does the future promise you anything? Have you found a piece of land where you can live like a human being and die like a human being? On these questions, on this argument, and on this theme, the struggle for existence, Bartolomeo Vanzetti will speak.
