Jim,If he encouraged his students to add music to traditional recordings,he was showing a lack of respect to not only the material he had collected, but to the singers he had recorded,particuarly as he did it without their permission.
I never said he claimed to be a traditional singer,I said that he thought Bob Blake SINGING was not worth collecting,and that his decision was not based on quality,but because he was a revivalist rather than a genuine traditional singer,
yet he desecrated some of the traditional material he collected with inappropriate over dubbing.
If the traditonal process is that important,why encourage students to make innappropriate revivalist additions.
it beggars belief,and this fom one of the major collectors of the twentieth century.
Jim Carroll,he did collect a song from Alan Lomax[REVIVAL SINGER]Im a rambler and a gambler..FACT.
I never said that revival singers didnt exist.I said something else.
I advise you to read my posts correctly.
