Ms. Creighton also got upset once at Pete Seeger for referring to Nova Scotia as "this neck of the woods." Maybe she was a little too old-fashioned just to see it as a figure of speech.

I wonder what was her definition of a folk song worthy of being collected. She collected Peter Emberlay, the author of which is John Calhoun.[Different versions put poor Peter's burial place at either Doaktown or Boiestown, and I wonder that someone just didn't go to the Catholic cemetaries in those places and check. But Calhoun was from Boiestown.]

Sandy, were you there for the festival of traditional song?
