AR282	African American folk artists (56* d)	RE: African American folk artists	23 Feb 02
What source can be given that Clarence Ashley was white? Has anybody seen the Yazoo CD I refer to and is the man whose photo is said to Ashley's correct? I have to say, he doesn't appear to me to be all that white. Can anybody name sources that will prove beyond a doubt that Ashley is white? The Yazoo liner notes don't say. The photo is the only one I've ever seen and it's difficult to say. If I had to guess from the photo, he appears to be light-skinned but has African features. However Yazoo does include other white artists in this collection so that doesn't cinch my case for me. And I am no folk expert by any stretch.
