Didn't LD get into a barney with the Leadbelly Newsletter a while back? I seem to recall reading an interview. Stan Freburg has a great parody of the recording of Rock Island Line which my kids love (never having heard the original) - the producer can't make out what the words are, asks him "Get your "chicken" at the station...?" A trivia quiz - what's on the back of "My Old Man's a Dustman"? (parenthetically, it just occured to me that CD's don't have a "back side"). The answer is "The Golden Vanity" (Child 286). The only version I know where the captain shoots the cabin boy (the shots are on the disc, too!).
