Just heard the CBC's musicologist Adrian Shuman claim that Ewan MacColl was "born Jimmy Miller in Salisbury Massachusetts". Most of that I believe, but...Massachusetts? I thought he was English by birth. Who knows, really?

Since this musicologist has previously informed his rapt listeners that Doc Watson's real name is Merle and he wrote "Dark As A Dungeon", and that Connie Dover is Scottish, I am skeptical of his depth of knowledge in folk music. Ah well, at least he had the good sense to play "Moving-On Song" instead of the obvious popular choice, "The First Time Ever..."
