Nobody knows de trouble obscene. Seein's as how almost all of us who sing traditional folk are revivalists, somewherre along the line we have to decide whether we try to retain a feel of the tradition by singing in a dialect that is not ours. When I was 25, I tried to sound like I was 66. Time has taken care of that problem. I tried to sound like a scratchy 78, for authenticities sake. Many blues revivalists tried to sound black... 1920s southern black. Most blacks I know today wouldn't be caught dead saying "I'se gwinea do dat." How do you honor the tradition, and a regional sound, and still make the song you're own, if you're from Weehawken? What is the best way to make an old southern blues, gospel or Appalachian ballad accessible to someone from Weehawken? Just wondering. Anybody from Weehawken?
