"The South Stole Americana" ?

Just because a few white men who have reputations as folklorists concentrate on the South doesn't mean American traditional music is stolen away. To name few forms: polka, western music esp with yodelling, music of the SW, such as "Vaya con Dios." Music of the pueblos.

Josh has fallen into the historian's fallacy that only prominent, (and usually white) males make history.
