  • Festival of American Folklife : July 1-4, 1967
    Smithsonian Institution Festival of American Folklife 1 1 % 1 1 1 SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION FESTIVAL OF AMERICAN FOLKLIFE JULY 1-4, 1967 SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION FESTIVAL OF AMERICAN FOLKLIFE July 1-4, 1967 America's grass roots culture provides abundant material for the four-day Festival of American Folklife presented by the Smithsonian Institution on the National Mall over the July 4th weekend. More than doubling previous peak attendance at the Smithsonian for this holiday weekend, the first program in July, 1967 attracted 431,000 spectators, according to National Park Service figures. The exceptional public response to this first event has lead the Smithsonian to establish the Festival as an annual Independence Day tribute to our folk heritage. Fifty-eight traditional craftsmen and thirty-two musical and dance groups from throughout the United States demonstrated and performed at the first open-air event. Mountain banjo-pickers and ballad singers, Chinese lion fighters, Indian sand painters, basket and rug weavers, New Orleans jazz bands and a Bohemian hammer-dulcimer band from east Texas combined with the host of participants from many rural and urban areas of our country to weave the colorful fabric of American traditional culture. The entire event was free to the public, the expense of the production having been borne by the Smithsonian aided by numerous civic and cultural organizations, business enterprises and State Arts Councils. It marks the inception of a fresh attempt at the evaluation, documentation and celebration of this heretofore unrecognized area of vigorous American expression. Most of the traditions have survived from the era of pre-industrial society whose ways have all but disappeared from the American scene with the advent of mass media and rapid transportation.

  • Going Down the Valley: Vocal and Instrumental Styles in Folk Music from the South New World NW 236
    Going Down the Valley: Vocal and Instrumental Styles in Folk Music from the South New World NW 236 The history of vernacular music in the United States is the chronicle of successive encounters between the various diverse cultural elements of this so-called melting pot. In particular, it is the story of the encounters between the Anglo-American tradition and the Afro-American. Almost every new musical form since the Civil War—vaudeville, ragtime, jazz, rock and roll—owes a debt to both heritages, with the Afro-American legacy generally the predominant one. Music thus achieves more peacably what other manifestations of culture have struggled over violently: integration. But while the music may play to a beat insensitive to the drums of conflict, the musicians themselves, alas, do not always do the same. Some hillbilly musicians openly acknowledged their debts to black musicians; others denied vehemently any possible influence, even when the musical evidence for it was ineluctable. Through the 1930s the record industry itself of course promoted total musical segregation. Separate categories were allocated to “hillbilly” on the one hand and “race” or “blues” music on the other. (There were also, at the same time, separate series devoted to other ethnic enclaves in the United States: recordings made by and for Yiddish-speaking Americans of the Northern cities, for Finnish- Americans in Michigan, for Polish-Americans in the Midwest, for French-speaking Cajuns of Louisiana, and so on.) The different series were advertised separately and marketed separately, in accord with the socio-economic facts of life of a still largely segregated United States.

    EVERLYPEDIA (formerly The Everly Brothers Index – TEBI) Coordinated by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik A complete (as far as is possible) index/encyclopaedia on every facet of Don & Phil Everly, covering their lives, careers, influences and connections – of course, from us as huge fans, with all due respect to them and their families.
