Subject: RE: What was Jimmie doing?
Catspaw, you hit the nail square on the head, my friend. I am still railling (a combination of ranting and raving, I think) and sending letters to all that I even remotely think can read about one Wayne Erbsen. He has a "Backpocket Old Time Songbook" out that goes on and on in its' introduction about how we should all"sing the old songs, play them, don't worry about what kind of voice you have because the people that origianlly sang these songs were plain folks just like you and I",& "if we don't carry on the old traditions they will all be lost to future generations":... and then.....several pages into the book one finds the Civil War song, Kingdom Coming (aka JUBILO) and it begins, "Say workers have you seen the master", instead of the traditional version. I feel it is folks like him that are destroying our beloved folk traditions with this PC (Putrid Crap) If anyone would like further info about this "Enemy of Folk" let me know and I will furnish what I can.
