the concert held at the bradley center in Milw. was an outstanding tribute to Pete Seeger, Woodie Guthrie, and other significant musicians that created the fabric of original American folk music, "union or non-union" was not the focal point! awesome concert, a bow to our NJ native, Mr. Springstein!
