Thread Name: Folklore: Leadbelly: Should we sing his songs?
Subject: RE: Folklore: Lead Belly: Should we sing his songs?
I immediately appreciated the irony. This is perhaps the best of all comments regarding the "Amazing Grace" thread, even though it does not appear in that thread.

Would it make any difference if the questions asked only whether we should refrain from singing Leadbelly-written hymns (if any)?

I think it would still appear to be a ridiculous question, and still strongly undermine the sentiment that prompted the creation of that earlier discussion.

Nuff said?
