Thread Name: 'Land Where The Blues Began' Lomax, Sad.
Subject: RE: 'Land Where The Blues Began' Lomax, Sad.
Thanks for posting that, Amos. It illustrates the shortcomings of the Lomaxes that we seen posted here before. Still, I suppose the Lomaxes were products of their time - and their personalities. Despite the shortcomings, the Lomax books and recordings are a valuable resource.

It's good to see better recognition coming to the generations of the Work family, who contributed so much to the study of black American folk music.
