Thread Name: Cantwell says, 'Huddie =Hudson'! SAY WHAT?????
Subject: Cantwell says,"Huddie=Hudson"! SAY WHAT???????????
Robert Cantwell in his book _When We Were Good_(Harvard Univ. Press) says that Leadbelly's first name was HUDSON (therefore Huddie). I've never heard that anywhere before. Is this false or actual??? Seems outrageous to me.
