Subject: RE: Ewan MacColl Song Collecting
I have to say it sometimes looks to me as if McColl and Seeger (and possibly Lloyd, who Jim appears to have taxied round) exploited Jim and his electric/technical skill. Expenses only. Was he paid the full union rate for all the re-wiring he did? Like the lady who was happy to be a childminder in return for lessons. She may have felt it a good deal, but it seems to me that this was because of some rather odd 'worship' or 'damn near deification' of the man as somebody above put it that seems to have gone on in some quarters.
