Could be a relation..not sure. Anyway, someone has passed a little book he wrote on to me. It is just a story of how he was hired to track down a stolen banjo...not a biography or anything. I will mail to anyone in US who wants it. First come, first served. I also have an MP3 of him singing a song about Blackbeard the pirate. PM me if you would like a copy and give me your email. mg
