I remember when I was about 8 or 9, my mother gave me a copy of Folksongs of North America. I used it well. I mangled it, in fact, as 9 year olds will do in the process of loving something. I'm on my second or third copy now, and I use it often.

I hope his family are weathering the loss as well as possible, and that his death was peaceful and easeful. We are fortunate he left such a rich legacy.
