GUEST,Fact Checker Alan Lomax: Another View (80* d) RE: Alan Lomax: Another View 22 Jul 02

Member Armen Tanzerian writes: "Hey, look, Pete Seeger is the sweetest guy in the world, and in the '40s, Elizabeth Cotten was a maid in his rather privileged family home. Should we hold that against him? Of course not. I'm sure Pete was the first to celebrate her recognition, and I'm sure he didn't try to finagle royalties for Freight Train."

Another Mudcat member spreads false information.

Elizabeth Cotten DID NOT work in Pete Seeger's "rather prvilileged home." She worked in the home of his father, Charles Seeger, many years after Pete was grown and gone. By that time, Charles Seeger was long divorced from Pete's mother and remarried with three younger children: Mike, Penny and Peggy.

Just because someone is a Mudcat member instead of a guest, doesn't mean they know whatdafuck dey talkin' 'bout.
