With this blog, i want to use the Folkways Anthology as a roadmap to explore american folk music. I’ ll use texts, images, music and videos gathered from my personal collection and from the web to make this work-in-progress enjoyable and educational the best i can. Any suggestions, additional informations, comments and critics are welcome…

Sibling Revelry of the Day: YouTuber danamal55 says: “My little brother and I were counting my cash one day so I decided to let him have a little fun. I told him that he can keep whatever money he catches… He caught $57 of MY hard earned cash. Shoulda thought this one through more.”

“
You get your intuition back when you make space for it, when you stop the chattering of the rational mind. The rational mind doesn’t nourish you. You assume that it gives you the truth, because the rational mind is the golden calf that this culture worships, but this is not true. Rationality squeezes out much that is rich and juicy and fascinating.

Old Weird America - An Exploration of the Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music
“Welcome
I’ll use Harry Smith’s numerical order starting from the number one performance in the Anthology, “Henry Lee” by Dick Justice and end (someday…) with “Fishing Blues” by Henry Thomas. Each time, i’ll try to collect interesting links on the artist and on the song performed. There will be other performances by the artist and different versions of the selected song that i have access to. You’re invited to download and enjoy the selections but please, as much as you can, try to support the efforts of the small records companies and the living artists by buying their records.”
