Description:

Do you have any old time folk music in your collection? Maybe some rags or cakewalks. Maybe some off color ethnic comedy recorded on wax cylinder. Maybe a family singing about their hillbilly lifestyle or some cowboy campfire tunes. Good down home fiddlin' music about Jesus and commercials for cure-all potions? Well then join up here!

Not exactly sure what I am talking about? Here are some good examples: http://tinyurl.com/nj83vl and http://tinyurl.com/l7lo8o

If you don't already have a lot of this kind of music, a lot of it is free/out of copyright. Many songs are dnldable at http://cylinders.library.ucsb.edu/. The Library of Congress also puts out a lot of collections of this sort.

In terms of time period, most of it would be pre-1940s, but a song of this genre could be recorded somewhere in Appalachia today and still be valid. Use your best judgment. It's supposed to be fun, so I am not putting a lot of rules on this. I'd love to see how many people are interested in traditional music!

INCLUDE: a CD a tracklist

Commentary on where you found the music would be great too, but not necessary.

NEWBIES are welcome if they message me. FLAKERS--people who've flaked on any swaps in the last 6 months are not welcome!

I wish I could join, but I have no cd burner. Enjoy!

I'm sorry I have to drop from this swap, I don't want to but money and time constraints this week are forcing me to. So sorry. :(

Oh, I'm so bummed I miss this swap. I'd definitely participate if there is ever a round 2.
