I WAS FRIENDS FOR MANY YEARS WITH ALAN AND LOMAX FAMILY

I MET ALAN LOMAX WHEN I PLAYED THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS FOLK MUSIC 50th

ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION WITH BURL IVES AND ALAN PRESENTED HIS RECENT

MUSIC DISCOVERIES.

ALAN WAS NOT ONLY A GREAT PRESERVER OF THE AMERICAN MUSIC BUT HE WAS

INTERNATIONAL IN HIS VISION.

FOR ME PERSONALLY HIS WAS ALSO ONE OF THE WORLD'S GREAT UNIQUE

CHARACTERS.....Rattlesnake Annie
