I can do that. Sometimes it works sometimes no. I saw some movies about this before but am always up for more movies about this.

the film who was interviewed as a former Wobblie (Tom Scribner) was a regular feature on the Pacific Garden in Santa Cruz where he used to play a saw. After he passed away some years ago - the city built a statue of him playing the saw down by the clock tower. I have not been there in almost 20 years - but I remember old fellow he was a most interesting character
