I am wondering about Lee Hays.

Was he in reality a drunk? I have heard that he was and would like some clarification on this.

Also, I have read that Lee Hays was detrimental to the Weavers winning young folk fans and being a part of the great folk scare during the late 50s/early 60s due to the fact that Hays was, well so old looking.

Any thoughts on this?
