Subject: Alan Lomax in the Upper Midwest podcasts From: Desert Dancer Date: 23 Oct 13 - 03:40 PM Alan Lomax and the Soundscapes of the Upper Midwest 75th anniversary of the Library of Congress Folk-Song Expedition to Michigan In 1938 the Library of Congress dispatched the pioneering folklorist and song collector Alan Lomax to complete a folklife survey of the Great Lakes region. He set off in a 1935 Plymouth sedan, toting a Presto instantaneous disc recorder and a moving image camera. He returned almost three months later, having driven thousands of miles on barely paved roads, with a cache of 250 discs and 8 reels of film. These materials documented the incredible range of ethnic diversity and occupational folklife in Michigan. There are 4 podcasts up right now, and more to come. On Facebook, the American Folklife Center says, "It's the 75th anniversary of Alan Lomax's 1938 field trip to the Upper Midwest. To celebrate, AFC is producing a number of events and publications, including a series of podcasts on Lomax's trip. Please visit the link to listen to the first four podcasts. Subscribe to make sure you won't miss future episodes!" ~ Becky in Long Beach |
