Yes, that's exactly what he did. It's a pity that people didn't take my advice (given more than a year ago) to leave this thread alone and instead take the trouble to read the other ones before repeating baseless fantasy and misinformation as "fact".

Where, I wonder, do they get all that foolishness from? Why does folk music (and what is imagined to be folk music) attract so much bizarre speculation from people with vivid imaginations but -apparently- no conception of how to construct an argument based on actual evidence?

That was a rhetorical question. It doesn't require an answer.
