Yes, this is what I recall -- apparently neither Seeger nor Cotton had done enough of the hard paper work (which ought not to be necessary in a better world).

To his credit, according to my understanding, Seeger helped her in this.

Whatever, everybody knows she created it -- that's what matters, now anyway

All power to folk music -- folk music never die!
