As far as the young feller trying to sing like Leadbelly (Peggy not both) - the Singers Club (that was where the argument was aimed at) was set up to encourage singers singing songs from their own national backgrounds - certainly not English honkies trying to sound like black American convicts
I DO NOT KNOW WHAT A HONKIE IS? anyway this guy was singing in his own cockney accent,so he was not trying to sound like leadbelly, but peggy found this funny, she was hyprocitical, there she was singing appalachian songs with a new york accent,its like the mad hatters tea party
