I just realized, that this might have been mentioned in the liner notes to the Arhoolie CD (not at arms length right now...). I think I've read about it somewhere...

Sounds like I should throw this one at Joe Bussard and see what happens...

have you read ANN SAVOY's book

That one's on my list for sometime in the near future. I've heard some great things about it so now I have this urge to finally pick it up...
