Subject: RE: Black American Folk Singers of Today
I am surprised that no one has mentioned Jimmie Collier, the late Rev. Kirkpatrick's musical partner from the days of the civil rights movement. In recent years Jimmie Collier has mostly done educational programs, introducing school children the traditional music of the Old West, with particular emphasis on the music of the black cowboys, ranchers, miners, and railroad hands.
