check out "The First Time that Ever I saw Your Face," over on Youtube. (about haslf-way through, till near the end, the pictures aren't the best, either...)

Ewen McCall wrote it for Peggy Seeger (Pete's daughter), long ago. She was just emerging from being blackballed,. for being a Communist, or jaywalking or something. Then she recorded the song, and sang it in public, and got blackballed all over again, cause she sang a song with SEX in it...was that really us?
