I'll bet that recording you mentioned is great!

Give me the willies, but I suppose they were comforting to the families in a way, or perhaps it was a superstition thing?Kat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-16309862235418903572009-10-21T05:12:36.381-07:002009-10-21T05:12:36.381-07:00A chill wind just blew up the back of my neck beca...A chill wind just blew up the back of my neck because my uncle is James Harris. Can't help but think of a recording I own by Helen Creighton, a woman who travelled all around Nova Scotia in the 1950s and recorded folk music of the local shanachies.<br /><br /><br />I believe Jim Croce's "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown", Chicago-style directly descends from that "Mojo Hand", doesn't it?<br /><br />(Must listen to the rest now.)<br /><br />Thanks for this great series!Kat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.com
