GUEST,KarenH | Who started the Delta blues myth? (231* d) | RE: Who started the Delta blues myth? | 13 Aug 18 |
The point I was making is that one cannot use Odum's work of 1911 as an example of a folklorist discussing blues as folk music, as I understood you to have done, because Odum himself never mentions blues as a type of music in his pieces of that date, though he does discuss what he calls the 'self pity' of 'the negro' several times. I apologise for not making that clear. |
