  1. nope i'm not lucifer, though many may think it

    i'm a music man

    that's all i ever really was

    of course, guessing my name isn't all that difficult when it's right there in front of you

  2. you want it? i have it coming in right now

    i have eerie powers when it comes to the obscure (well weird musical friends anyhoo)

    pms are a better medium for further information

    hi everybody!

  3. I was just reading about Lomax's trip around the country (mostly the south) to record old spiritual and original blues works. its nice to hear now that his dedicated work is being preserved at such a level. thanks kooperman!

    now, anyone here know how to gain access to these recordings?

    i have 16 discs of the collection, it isn't just american stuff--there are carribean islanders, irish and english singers

    the american stuff is interesting--church songs, prisoners and chain gang stuff, songs imported and passed down through immigrants

    another interesting couple that recorded common people was the warners, anne and frank--they were contemporaries of alan lomax, and recorded mountain people and other simple folk

    from them you get gilgarra mountain (aka whiskey in a jar) tom dooley, and many other folk standards made famous in the 60's

    they aren't as famous as the lomaxes, but they are almost as important (i have them too)
