The year 2009 has turned into something a year of review of the folk revival of the 1960s. In November I featured a posting of many of the episodes (via “YouTube”) of Pete Seeger’s classic folk television show from the 1960s, “Rainbow Quest”. I propose to do the same here to end out the year with as many of the selections from Harry Smith’s seminal “Anthology Of American Folk Music,” in one place, as I was able to find material for, either lyrics or "YouTube" performances (not necessarily by the original performer). This is down at the roots, for sure.
Unbelievable as it seems some of the material on old Harry's "Anthology" has not made it to "YouTube". At least I can't find it in a timely manner. Any help will be welcomed. This project turned out to be far more work than I thought. Remember this as well. This is primarily a political blog. The folk and other roots music is an aside so I, personally, only want to spend some much time on it. Especially now when our priority is Obama- Troops (and Mercenaries) Out Of Afghanistan (and Iraq).
