Not to defend Alan Lomax's daughter, but I believe the idea to do this pre-dates Alan's death this Summer. I remember it being part of the discussion at the reception at Anna Lomax Chairetakis' home after Alan's funeral. There was quite a discussion of future projects with Lomax's recordings.

Not that I spoke directly to her about it, but I did say to others (including the chief music archivist at the Smithsonian) that I didn't particularly like the idea of people changing the recordings of people who are dead.
