@Tradsinger,

Not being provocative, just that I'd heard it said that it was basically staged for Alan Lomax and his team. I know nothing about it other than (a) what I read in the recent biography of Lomax and (b) youtube clips. And the latter somehow don't seem realistic. I can see how a community might want to have a bit of a laugh at the expense of the American tourists. I'm not saying they did.
