Jeez, thanks for the response friends. For a while I thought NOBODY was gonna have an opinion.

Yeah, this book has been out for quite a while and I just got around to it this week. A bit surprising considering the amount of music non-fiction I read.

Lomax's recordings of a long interview with Woody Guthrie are also a tad suspect, taste-wise. No question the guy was pushy and aggressive, but I gather he had to be to keep going on those trips. Damn, I appreciate what he did.

Thanks for the stories.....any others will be appreciated.

Cheers

Rick
