Subject: Folklore: First Folk Song(s) You Heard
Where does this music come from? How do we find the songs, the stories? What do we remember (early songs)?
For this Baby Boomer (my family was not musical) - Harry Belafonte - Day-O (early school program) Johnny Horton - Battle of New Orleans (early record) Delia/Pasing Through - (camp songs) Dick Darby the Cobbler - (Appalachian Music film)
