No transcript yet. Nothing on this page carries what is said or sung in this recording, so it is not usable if you cannot hear it. That is a gap in this archive, not a property of the recording. The Library of Congress record carries the collection's own description.
Streamed from the Library of Congress, which holds the master. This archive keeps its own copy of the same file; cite the Library's.
Rights and credit
Public domain (Library of Congress; no known restrictions)
Credit this to American Folklife Center when you use it.
Material goes off the web without anyone deciding that it should: a host lapses, a gallery is retired, a link stops resolving. Holding a copy — with its provenance, its checksum and its holder's terms recorded beside it — is much of why this archive exists. If you are looking for something whose original has since gone, write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com and a full-size copy of what is held here will be sent to you.
Recorded verbatim from the provenance sidecar taken at retrieval — this archive does not restate a holder's terms in its own words, does not add a restriction the holder did not state, and does not abridge one.

The archive holds its own copy of that file and will supply it on request; it is not re-served here, because the holder serves it better and a second copy is a second thing to go stale.
