One last post, and I'm caught up, I think.

The recordings on the CD that comes with the Windjammers book span more than 20 years and a range of technologies. They reflect the uneven capabilities of the equipment and Ivan H Walton's informants. The first and last two of the 15 cuts on the CD are not from the field, but from a program Walton organized at the University of Michigan in 1955 (Walton's opening remarks, and the contemporary singing of Ed Vandenberg:

"Bound Away on the Twilight" and "The Schooner Thomas Hume"

Bits of interviews by Alan Lomax can be heard on several cuts, all recorded on Beaver Island MI in August 1938:
"The Gallagher Boys" sung by John W Green, spoken story by Dominick Gallagher, Lomax interviewing.
"The Clifton's Crew" sung by Patrick Bonner, Lomax interviewing
"The Fisherman Yankee Brown" sung by Dan Bonner, Lomax interviewing
Also "The Gallant Tommy Boyle" sung by Pat McDonough
"The Smugglers of Buffalo" sung by John W Green

"The Timber Drougher Bigler" sung by Asa M Trueblood, Lomax interviewing, Port Huron MI, Sep 2, 1938

"The Old Barge Oliver Cromwell" Sung by John Gallino, Walton interviewing, Port Huron MI, Sep 2, 1938

"The EC Roberts" sung by Capt James Putnam, Walton Interviewing, Port Huron, MI Sep 1, 1938

"The Red Iron Ore", "The Timber Drougher Bigler" "The Wood Scow Julie Plante" sung by Harry Barney of Algonac MI, Walton interviewing, Port Huron MI Sep 1, 1938

"The Ill-Fated Persian" sung by John W Green, Walton interviewing, Beaver Island MI,   July 1959

"Bound Away on the Twilight" sung by Ed Vandenberg at the above-mentioned conference in 1955.

"The Schooner Thomas Hume" sung by Ed Vandenberg, same 1955 conference.

Ed Vandenberg was a contemporary of Professor Walton, and the last two cuts on the CD included with the Windjammers book were taken from a July 1955 presentation at the University of Michigan. Professor Walton's opening remarks at this (same) folklore program are the first cut on the book's CD.
