Looking for some help. I'm a theatre director doing research for a project about John Henry. I've searched here, found the standard John Henry tunes and lyrics. Now I am looking for anything I can find, chants, blues, ballads, text/other stories or anecdotes concerning the lives of the African American men and women who built our railroads. Also listings of recordings would be helpful. Hope to hear something soon. Thanks to Mudcat and all the helpful souls I've met so far! |
