Q,

I agree that both Kitty Kline and Free Little Bird come from Kitty Clyde. This has been established in earlier threads on those songs. Somehow the songs became tied in with Little Birdie.

Mike Seeger knew Lily May Ledford well in the later years and organized some concerts for her. She has some kind words to say about him in her unpublished handwritten autobiography which I have been loaned by Cari Horris.
