Josh White is unusual in that he had managed to blend an eclectic range of musical styles to create a unique balance of folk/blues and gospel. Born on February 11th 1914 he started his stage career at the age of 7 leading blind musicians onto the stage, during this period he saw his father beaten by police and then committed to an asylum where he died shortly after. He also learned to play piano and guitar and how to work an audience. He was treated badly by the blind men that he served and earned very little- but he gave all the money to his mother, who in turn gave most of it to the church. By the age of 18 he was working prolifically and had two distinct careers, under his own name he was a highly respected Gospel singer and musician whilst under the name of Pinewood Tom he enjoyed success as a blues singer and guitarist. By the end of the 30's he had become a political activist and was drawn to the protest songs of the folk world, in particularly the main stays of the protest movement Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. In 1940 he appeared with another famous activist Paul Robeson in both "The Man Who Went To War" and "John Henry". He also played at the White House for President Roosevelt and again in the sixties for John F Kennedy. This despite having been brought before the House Committee for Unamerican Affairs in the McCarthy years. "John Henry" was a hugely influential tune for many in the protest movement including Josh White and for Pete Seeger and has been revived by Bruce Springsteen on his new album- We Shall Overcome, and is also being released as a single. These recordings were made during a number of sessions in New York during the early fifties.

We met in the Winter of 2004 at a mutual friend's wedding. During the festivities, we began talking about our great-grandfathers, Josh Gibson and Babe Ruth. Immediately, we connected with each other, given the significance of our relatives in the baseball and home run world. Over time, we stayed in touch and became friends. During subsequent conversations, we started sharing our thoughts with each other about the possible "what-ifs" had Josh and Babe had the chance to meet and interact together, since there is no known record of these two baseball greats having ever crossed paths in person.
