We are still glad to see the Reedys rightfully included in this publication about Appalachian music and migration. However, neither Bartenstein or the website cite the Reedy blog even though they most likely learned about Frances' unique middle name, "Williebob," and the Reedys' brief divorce through our documentary project, which first published these personal details about their lives. Also, Bartenstein cites Mac McDivitt and the Cincinnati-Dayton Ohio Bluegrass Heritage website as the research source for the biographical profiles of the "extended cast of characters" (2020:113-114). We have worked to correct such omissions repeatedly in this blog as well as other public platforms and discussions. While Bartenstein includes both Frances and John by name in the the first two sentences, sadly, the reference to their "highly influential" version of "Oh Death" the song's artist credits name him and not her (2020:118), even though she is the vocalist.
