30 Aug 04 - 02:38 PM (#1260015) Subject: Louisiana Folk information From: Q (Frank Staplin) For interesting articles on folk life in Louisiana; homepage: Folklife An example is the article on Ray Beebe's Louisiana String Band: North Louisiana String Band Interesting downloadable examples of Louisiana traditional music are here: Louisiana Voices Included is the seldom heard Leadbelly song, "Fannin Street," and Clifton Chenier "Zydeco sont pas salé" Also "Jezebel" by "The Ever Ready Gospel Singers." I hope the direct links work; I have not tried them. All of the many sections can be reached through the links on the home page, but there are many sub-links since this is an extended teaching resource. |
