1946: Alan Lomax invites Hobart Smith and Texas Gladden to give a concert at Columbia U. Introduced them to Moe Asch who recorded a three-78 album, Texas Gladden Sings Blue Ridge Ballads, for Disc. (The material is now on the Rounder Texas Gladden CD-1800.) The album did not come out until 1948, if that matters. Songs are: Devil and the Farmer's Wife, I'm Never To Marry (The Girl That I Hated), Rose Connolly, The House Carpenter, Poor Ellen Smith, The Wreck Of the Old '97.
