Irwin Silber

Journalist, editor, publisher, political activist -- via AP. Most importantly, he co-founded Sing Out ! magazine with Pete Seeger and Alan Lomax, and spent the bulk of his life collecting, preserving and promoting American music of the vernacular --labor songs, folk songs, protest songs, and music and lyrics that defined every period of American history.
