I've received a couple of emails from people acting for William in a 
professional capacity, trying to  preserve his reputation from harm. 
It seems there is some sort of falling-out between Galison and 
Peyroux that is at least partly on a personal level.

The newspaper account at the link below gives more personal detail 
than I've beem aware of (if the text wraps, you may need to cut-and-

Of course there's a good deal of he said/she said, and I have no 
interest in either party's outcome. My main point is that this record 
got embroiled in personal and legal disputes, and that may have a lot 
more to do with its obscurity than the fact that a harmonica player 
was involved.
