[edit] Open letter to Madeleine Peyroux

This article relies heavily - some may say too heavily - on William Galison's 'Open letter to Madeleine Peyroux' which can be found here: http://web.mac.com/wgalison/MADELEINE_LETTER/Letter_to_Madi.html

While I acknowledge that over-reliance on a single source is unsatisfactory, this information isn't available elsewhere in such detail. Whether this matter should be covered at such length is a matter of opinion and perhaps a brief outline of the case with a link to the 'Open letter' page would be enough.

Also, an article on the 'Got You On My Mind' album already exists and perhaps a large portion of this article should be transferred to that one.

I'm not sure of the legality of the claims made by Galison, but what he says appears to be true. Certainly, the depositions of Madeleine Peyroux which he has made available on his YouTube page seem to confirm his account. Galison's YouTube page: http://uk.youtube.com/user/willgalison

I'd appreciate any thoughts / constructive edits / additional references. SteveRamone 19:24, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Do you ever wish you'd never started an article? It's a nightmare trying to figure out what happened when and who said what and maybe none of it really matters anyway. I freely admit that much of the article is sourced from Galison's website, with some altered words and rephrased sentences. SteveRamone 21:39, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
