According to one legend he got his name leadbelly when he told a madam his name was ledbetter she felt his stomach and the guy was so ripped she nicknamed him leadbelly!
@wildkatsailing lol ppl still dont realize that music just has a continual chain of influence..the substance itself is almost never original (and when it is its only because of new instruments and sound technologies)...its the style in which they collage that substance that can be original. leadbelly "stole" substance from his predecessors (obviously) just as much as later generations stole from him... but his music and his life are incredible, and its good that he was able to influence others.
