[Magdalen] RIP Fred Hellerman, 89.

[Charles Wohlers]

A memorable concert! As you can see, Lee Hays wasn't well - he died the 
following year.

About a month ago I was browsing in the local record shop and came upon an 
album (vinyl LP) of Leadbelly in a 1949 concert on (of all things) Playboy 
Records. I'd never known that they put out records too. This was, 
apparently, the only full-length concert of him ever recorded. He did sing 
"Goodnight Irene" with words a little different than what the Weavers had.
