Subject: RE: 1949-54 Carolina Barn Dance, Spruce Pine
The UNC Wilson Special Collection Library archive holding isn't huge - about 1 linear foot of shelf at the library. Below is a Finding Aid.
Abstract: The Bruce Greene and Hilary Dirlam Collection consists of audio recordings, documentation, and photographs of Anglo-American old-time musicians from western North Carolina. The materials were created and compiled by musicians, Bruce Greene and Hilary Dirlam, as part of a 1992 North Carolina Arts Council folklife documentary grant. The audio recordings primarily consist of field recordings and interviews by musicians from Avery County, Buncombe County, Mitchell County, and Yancey County, including Steve Ledford, Luke Smathers String Band, and Red Wilson.
