It was pretty clear almost immediately that she wasn't the source... I feel for her..
David (Roots Music Canada) tweeted he had contacted EMP after finding out it was a rumour with them and I phoned B. Fiedler at the same time and let Kenyon (who called me with the news he saw on the news wire) know all was well..
Ronnie Hawkins was on the radio and tv talking about the phone call from a grandson so it was clear that a tweet didn't start it. A Tweeter just innocently took erroneous info, and passed it on. Tweets are a lot faster way to pass info on than years ago and the audience is much larger.
The culprits are the originator who made the call and the media person who did not complete due process in confirming such a serious story with the proper sources.
They owe me 10 years..
