Hi, Rusty!
I have just been watching Eggheads. There was a question to which you will probably know the answer??
Who co-wrote "If I Had A Hammer" with Lee Hays?
I'd forgotten about Miss Orlando's graduation tomorrow ........ are you now all pressed and ironed ready for the big event?
I bet you are feeling very proud of her? Take lots of photos to commemorate the occasion!
Where is the graduation ceremony being held?

Mmmm - who are you thinking of? I think Peter Paul and Mray covered it, a bit later. (What has six legs and a handbag?)

Pete Seeger, of course (thanks to Google). I wonder how he survived the McCarthy era? I did wonder if it was earlier, and Woody Guthrie.

Yes, it was Pete Seeger!
Woody Guthrie was one of the multiple choices on Eggheads.
I can't remember now who was the third option?

Still struggling with the riddle.......
