Great to find this song here! I just read about it in this new book "From Jubilee to Hip Hop -- Readings in African American Music", by Kip Lornell, ed.
Seems like, Leadbelly had an inspired grade school teacher who encouraged his and the other children's love for music.
NO Lead Belly NO Beatles- I didnt make that up George Harrison did! Go to the indiegogo site & look up leadbellyfilm

The book was great, two dozen different essays by various authors. You pick and choose. Enjoy the read.
