| Description | This 56-minute video is a recording of Alan Lomax as he travels through the Southern Appalachians investigating the songs, dances, and religious rituals of the descendants of the Scotch-Irish frontiers people who have made the mountains their home for centuries. Preachers, fiddlers, moonshiners, cloggers and square dancers recount the good times and the hard times of rural life. Performances by Tommy Jarrell; Janette Carter; Ray and Stanley Hicks; Frank Proffitt, Jr.; Sheila Kay Adams; and Ray Fairchild, the man reputed to be the fastest banjo-picker in the world. A great video that shows students music before it became an industry and also what folklorist collect in regard to a career. |
