GUEST,okjak | Leadbelly's Real Name (77* d) | RE: Lead Belly's Real Name | 10 Jan 08 |
Well, seems no one has thought to enquire about Ledbelly's last name, Ledbetter. It's Old English of course and comes from Lead Beater, i.e. someone who fashions lead as a trade. Most likely the name of a colonial English slaveowner. |
