Kath,

I always thought that what you say is Inagua is actually "Managua"----the city in Nicaragua.

EBarnacle,

Could you possibly the person named Barnacle who had a bit to do with Leadbelly? I con't recall what it was though. ---- A folklorist, possibly, who helped him navigate the ins and out of the Eastern U.S.A. folk scene?
