AN ASIDE:
B. (Ben) A. Botkin, compiler of many books of fokloristic tidbits on various topics was, also, once head of the Archive Of Folk songs at the USA's Library Of Congress in Washington D.C.
I was talking to Bruce U. Utah Phillips back in the 1970s about Botkin and he came out with this clever utterance:
B.A., B.A. Botkin,
Have you any folklore?
