Dicho (Frank Staplin) Origins: Short'nin' Bread (69* d) RE: Help: Shortnin' Bread 06 Sep 02


Stewie, I knew you or another expert on discography would come up with a list of recordings older than that reference (ref. to Ora Dell Graham is from the Traditional Ballad Index, no other information given).

The other references to lyrics or music are taken from N. L. White, American Negro Folk Songs, p. 193, where he refers to or quotes lyrics collected by Perrow, 1915, p. 142, "nine stanzas with music as from East Tennessee mountain whites in 1912, ...", J. Am Folklore, var. issues 1912-1915 (as listed in Bibliography in White, American Negro Folk Songs), and other stanzas in White from Mss by Killingsworth 1915-1916 , Harward 1919 and others.
