Oral Tradition - Who, What, When, Where

ie. While I (who)was hiking the Appalacian Trail in the vicinity of Baxster State Park, Maine (where)in May of 1999 (when)there were two chaps from Tennesee (who) that sang the following lyrics to "Gimme Crack Corn" (what)

ie. My mother used to sing this song, of the birds and the kittens, which is from her childhood in Nebraska in the 1920's however, I believe it perhaps came from her mother who is from Indiana, (Wabash) circa 1880.
