Bibliography
[edit]Why does Douglas Brinkley's intro get a separate listing? The whole book has been listed all ready. Better to just note Brinkley in the first listing, no?
Also -- doesn't he have musician progeny? Why aren't they mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.236.111.172 (talk) 21:14, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
Raffi Lyrics Reference
[edit]In a song by Raffi, a children's entertainer, there are lyrics that are likely a reference to David Amram:
A peanut butter sandwich made with jam
One for me and one for David Amram
A sample of the song can be heard here: http://music.yahoo.com/track/764615. Because both are musicians, I thought this was likely a reference to him, and wondered if anyone else agreed? I'm aware of the original research stigma, and could see where people might disagree.

Skimpy on the Details
[edit]Where was David Amram born? Where did he study? Etc. Etc. Who is David Amram anyway? As a person, rather than a collection of works. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.95.174.225 (talk) 22:32, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Answers: Philadelphia. Oberlin. Try the encyclopedia at Jazz.com. But how come they know and Wikipedia is clueless? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.95.174.225 (talk) 22:35, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Answer: Amram's first book is an autobiography titled "Variations" (published by Routledge Books). He has two other collections of memoirs published. comment added by "onehand" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgenow (talk • contribs) 00:00, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Citations Removed
[edit]Someone removed a sentence I inserted about the number of instruments that David plays, for which I included a citation to a video from the Folk Alliance International. I must have cited the source incorrectly. Can anyone help me understand how you cite a video? comment added by "onehand" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgenow (talk • contribs) 13:08, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
