Subject: RE: If you'd like some airplay.....
And as soon as I find it, I'll send it Rick. You'll read more of how he has disserviced Seeger, Odetta, et al. Some of the stuff is hard to read. He wants you to figure he's bosom buddies with Odetta, Homer Ledford........ He does love Jean Ritchie, but I'd like to hear a truthful account of her side of the story. Anyway, the "other side" I'd really like to hear is from the folks in Mousie, Kentucky where he moved to be a real folksinger. Mousie is a tiny community between Hindman and Pikeville and although he admits the people think him a bit different, I don't think he has any conception of just HOW different they think he is.

Anyway, I'm looking....I can't believe I would throw away ANY book unless its damaged beyond use or something. I'll send it on as soon as it turns up. BTW, he proudly defines folk music for all of us.
