It is chartered as an educational non-profit corporation, supported by gifts and contributions. The purpose of the JEMF is to further the serious study and public recognition of those forms of American folk music disseminated by commercial media such as print, sound recordings, films, radio, and television. These forms include the music referred to as cowboy, western, country & western, old time, hillbilly, bluegrass, mountain, country ,cajun, sacred, gospel, race, blues, rhythm' and blues, soul, and folk rock.

  • Gustav from Gävle Sweden’S First Recording Star
    Gustav from Gävle Sweden’s first recording star The architect and singer Gustav Fonandern, who was born in Gävle, was a successful recording artist on both sides of the Atlantic, but today he is almost completely forgotten. The first time he stepped into a recording studio was in 1907 or 1908. He recorded over 250 songs, and his biggest hit — about the gypsy Emma — sold some 30,000 copies, an astonishing figure in the infancy of the phonograph. So it's no wonder he was dubbed “Sweden's first recording star” in both Svenska Dagbladet and the Stockholms-Tidningen in 1960 when the time came to write his obituary. But although he made acclaimed appearances in both Sweden and the United States for decades, he seems now to be entirely unknown. For has anyone ever heard of the singer Gustav Fonandern? This forgotten artist was born on the south side of Gävle in the summer of 1880 and grew up at Nedre Bergsgatan 12 in a small wooden building consisting of two rooms and a kitchen. Yes, one of the rooms was in reality only a small partition wall behind the stove in the kitchen. Gästrikland native Olga Lindgren and her husband Hjalmar Peterson, better known as Olle i Skratthult, performed together with Gustav Fonandern in the United States for many years. At that time he was called Pettersson, and his father worked at the Porter Brewery down by Holy Trinity Church. After a few years at the Civic School, Fonandern found employment selling men’s clothing on Drottninggatan and subsequently at one of the city's collection agencies.

  • Columbia Records, 1901-1934 by Tim Brooks in 1978 and 1979 The
    February 3, 2002 High Drama in the Record Industry: Columbia Records, 1901-1934 by Tim Brooks In 1978 and 1979 the ARSC Journal (X:1 and X:2-3) published two articles by the author about the origins of Columbia, its early artists and its role in founding the record industry during the 1890s. The Following article documents the history of Columbia into the disc era, up to 1934. It originally appeared in volume one of The Columbia Master Book Discography (Greenwood Press, 1999) and is reprinted here with the permission of the publisher. Some new information has been added, including the startling revelation that Edward Easton attempted to sell the company to Edison in 1911, and a confidential evaluation of Columbia by an Edison executive. There is a shrine, somewhere, to Thomas A. Edison and his “favorite invention,” the phonograph. The Victor Talking Machine Company and its founder, Eldridge R. Johnson, rate a museum in Delaware. Thanks in no small part to that clever painting of a puzzled terrier peering into the horn of an old phonograph seeking “His Master’s Voice,” the Victor legend has spread far and wide.1 There was, however, a third company completing the triumvirate that dominated the record business in the early 1900s. Far from forgotten, one hundred years later that company is one of the preeminent marketers of recordings in the world. For a variety of reasons, Columbia has been less studied by scholars, and less loved by collectors, than Edison and Victor. Even modern Columbia itself, on its website, pays little attention to its history.2 In part this latter-day disdain seems to stem from the fact that the company was relentlessly focused on serving the public of its own time, not on pleasing collectors and historians of future generations.

  • Doctoral Dissertation
    From Revival to Remix: Norwegian American Folk Music and Song By Anna C. Rue A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Scandinavian Studies) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-MADISON 2014 Date of final oral examination: 12/5/2013 The dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: James P. Leary, Professor, Scandinavian Studies Thomas A. DuBois, Professor, Scandinavian Studies Julie K. Allen, Associate Professor, Scandinavian Studies Janet C. Gilmore, Associate Professor, Natural Resources – Landscape Architecture Ruth E. Olson, Faculty Associate, Interdisciplinary Research Programs – Humanities i For Thelma and Charlotte ii Acknowledgements Nothing worthwhile is accomplished alone, without help, without the patience and efforts of other good people. I could not have finished this dissertation without the assistance of many good people, first among them being my outstanding committee members. I feel so lucky to have been the beneficiary of your collective wisdom over the years I’ve been in this program and during the course of this project in particular. I could not imagine a more impressive, helpful, good humored, and inspiring group of people to work with as a graduate student and I feel truly honored to have been a part of this program at this particular time. I would also like to extend a special thanks to Jim, the best advisor I could have asked for and whose faith in and good opinion of my work was always so steadfast and kind that I hardly recognized it as my own. I would like to thank all the people who indulged my relentless questions, awkward stumbling and rambling as I tried to piece ideas together, and who offered me their thoughts, stories, and perspectives with so much trust and good will.

    Scandihoovian Space in America’s Upper Midwest: Impersonating Ole and Lena in the Twenty-First Century James P.

Officially supported by the local Chamber of Commerce, touted in the weekly Mount Horeb Mail as a “lighthearted weekend of fun” featuring 8 American Studies in Scandinavia, 44:1 a nocturnal bonfire, trolls, and a range of cold weather sports, the festival emphatically embraced New World Nordic identity. Regarding its name, or- ganizer Tracy Thompson declared: “Scandihoovian is just a term we Scan- dinavians call one another . My grandpa was all Swede and my grandma was Norwegian so we said we had an inter-ethnic marriage.
