Thanks for your reply Greg. I have visited the site and find the whole thing absolutely despicable.I thought I kept my ear pretty close to the ground re the goings on in the music scene in the South but this is the first that I knew of the problem.

Can anybody tell me who the ?????? is Howard Klein? I have come across Kleins and Clines in this music but not this one. What are his credentials? What were his plans for these valuable recordings?

I believe that Dale appears to have done the best thing possible in taking action to get this important material properly archived by a well rspected body of people and trust that it is still going ahead.

Were these goings on reported in the Old Time Herald or Sing Out or any of the regular magazines supporting this music.
