Sandy Paton	Songs/stories in VA hill dialect? (10)	RE: Songs/stories in VA hill dialect?	29 Mar 99
Shula: I knew when I posted the above that you were looking for the softer speech of the Virginia Blue Ridge, not that of the North Carolina Blue Ridge where I did most of my collecting (just a bit south of the Virginia/Carolina border in Wautauga County). However, I did record one album from Virginia for Folkways before I started Folk-Legacy, namely: Horton Barker of Chilhowie, Virginia, the great blind ballad singer who had sung at those White Top festivals back in the 30s. You might want to give it a listen. Tony Seeger at the Smithsonian is keeping all of those old Folkways albums available either as cassettes or as "custom" CDs. Sandy
