Richard Carlin is, if I remember correctly, the brother of Bob Carlin, the
banjoist. I read a fairly lengthy review of this book somewhere, and it
doesn't seem to have been published where I thought (JCM), so maybe it was
here <g>. And yes, it pointed out a fairly high rate of factual errors.

Carlin got it wrong, certainly the "hit" part. The hit was in the 60s.
