Steve,

It was a hasty remark - not a well-thought out comment.

And, I do think that what some may call "revisionist" history has a strong 
place in letting today's students know that the slaves did not sing while 
working because they were just peachy-keen happy with their lot in life. One 
reason for the songs has to do with covert communications among slaves. I 
hope that someday someone will write more on how the slaves communicated in 
song. I've seen bits and pieces of it.
