Thread Name: Peggy Seeger's Cockney Leadbelly??
Subject: RE: Peggy Seeger's Cockney Leadbelly??
Greg, I know they are, and good on them-it's a classic song. My point was if someone was doing a Doneganesque version of the song 6 years after his own hit, in a Cockney style,it might be a little tiresome. And still, unless she never watched tv, or listened to the radio at all, why the laughing fit for someone who was copying Donegan? Wouldn't she have come across Donegan's song by that point if the story is as she tells it?
