I can't tell who the originator of this is.

It really makes me sad to see that much of the article was lifted from Bowers' own website. I should think that a good, hard look at Dirty Linen and Sing Out! would yield usable information. It would be a shame if this were deleted due to copyright violations. A little mollusk (talk) 20:29, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
