Collection aims to record American folk music traditions
Gordon notes the growing array of published folk songs such as Negro spirituals and drinking songs still only scratch the surface of music Americans have created and performed. Phonographic recording will capture workers singing, supplementing Gordon’s large American music collection with sources like Negro spirituals, northern camp songs, mountaineer songs, western plains nomadic worker songs, cowboys, railroad workers, hoboes, and soldiers. London porters face hard times as livelihoods vanish and styles change.
