Before the Mast – does anyone know of a copy of this film?
Chris Brady and his friends are searching for a copy of this interesting sounding 1972 film.

Ask Peggy Seeger if she knows. Some relatives of mine were at a gig in Leeds in July and met Peggy, bought her autobiography.
That’s not a bad idea. Thanks! I have a friend who will be in touch with her…
