LEARNING LINEAGE AND THE PROBLEM OF AUTHENTICITY IN OZARK FOLK MUSIC A Dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music The University of Mississippi by KEVIN L. THARP May 2020 Copyright Kevin L. Tharp 2020 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Thorough examination of the existing research and the content of ballad and folk song collections reveals a lack of information regarding the methods by which folk musicians learn the music they perform. The centuries-old practice of folk song and ballad performance is well- documented. Many Child ballads and other folk songs have been passed down through the generations. Oral tradition is the principal method of transmission in Ozark folk music. The variants this method produces are considered evidence of authenticity. Although alteration is a distinguishing characteristic of songs passed down in the oral tradition, many ballad variants have persisted in the folk record for great lengths of time without being altered beyond recognition.

  • 2018-2019 Program Resource Book Table of Contents
    You Can Be Anything! As many of you know, each year I have a President and CEO patch designed to give to the girls I meet. My patches are based on stories from my sons. Each son, who are now grown men, decided what they felt was one of the most important life lessons I have taught them. They said if the lesson was good enough for them, they would also be good for the girls. My first patch, from my oldest son, Benjamin, who now has a daughter of his own, is “Make Wise Choices.” Spencer, my second son, remembers me always telling him “It is important to look in the mirror and like who he sees looking back,” so this message became my second patch. My third son, Brooks, suffered with a physical disability as a young boy. He learned it was best to “Be Kind” even if others were not kind to him. He was very clear that his patch would be the “Be Kind” patch. That brings me to my newest patch. Christian, my stepson, was excited to get his own patch. When I first met him, he was very shy. He was always encouraged to try and experience everything life had to offer to help him get over his shyness and find his passion. Due to this encouragement he is now pursuing his dream of being a rock star – because he can be anything! This program book provides countless opportunities for girls to make choices, like the girl they are becoming, be kind in their service to others and realize they can be anything.
