Bernice Regan and I thought we would

kind of surprise you

with a couple extra people tonight

on the program.

Some of the best music

that I know I've heard

in the last year

was not made on any stage

or on any phonograph record,

but down in a very muddy little village

called Resurrection City in Washington,

D .C. and the song fests there held every evening

under the leadership of Reverend

Frederick Douglass
