University of California-Berkeley Folk Festival: Charles Seeger, Sam Hinton, Jean Ritchie, Mike Seeger 2, 6/28/62

FW-ASCH-7RR-4047

CDR copy Tape Info: The following tapes were recorded at the 1962 University of California - Berkeley Folk Festival. FW-ASCH-7RR-4047 is part of "Concert Workshop 2" recorded 6/28/1962. Participants include Dr. Charles Seeger (most prominently), Mike Seeger, Jean Ritchie and Sam Hinton. In addition, Malvina Reynolds speaks from the audience. Probably, this tape is from near the end of the workshop, as it largely contains responses to questions from the audience, albeit the questions are often used as take-off points for extended conversation among the panelists. The discussion relates primarily to children's music, including such topics as: the inappropriate constraints placed on children's musicality by our music education system; puritanical constraints on song content; and children's musical culture. Some musical examples are presented, some of which are perhaps complete, while others are fragmentary. (Only lengthier examples are shown on sheet at front of jewel case.)
