22 Nov 11 - 04:52 PM (#3261724) Subject: Lomax featured on YouTube today 22 Nov From: Desert Dancer On the YouTube home page today, in the right-hand column under "Spotlight", the Tuesday feature is videos posted by the Alan Lomax Archive. Music Tuesday: An American Patchwork "Before YouTube, Americans performed mainly for each other at home -- until ethnomusicologists like Alan Lomax showed up, first with tape recorders and later with video equipment. Lomax captured amazing, hidden worlds of American music -- and now you can see his discoveries at youtube.com/AlanLomaxArchive." Links are given there to videos of bluesman R.L. Burnside, fiddler Tommy Jarrell, vocal effects and bottle by Fred "Junior" Thomas, and singer Shiela Kay Adams. (Thanks to the American Folklife Center for the tip via Facebook.) ~ Becky in Long Beach |

If you're not getting the home page thing, the best approach is to go right to the Alan Lomax Archive YouTube channel (which I also linked above), where they will also not be so prone to historical inaccuracies. Also, there are lots more videos, many of which were probably film, once. ;-) ~ Becky in Long Beach |
