Geez, amazing! Thank you folks so much.

Malcolm, noted your remark about nobody getting "heated". For that to happen, Elian would have had to have been kidnapped by "Pagans". Actually I quite understand the emotion (and amazing depth of research) expressed here. I have similar involvement in 1920s and 30s recorded country music, Piedmont blues, and baseball. When I see someone drop the wrong name, the wrong date, the wrong right hand position etc. I'm here like a shot.

Nice to see Joe Offer participating again (and not just in a "computer help", or "calm down folks" way. I love Opinions!
