Description
The collection consists of 236 audio cassette reference tapes duplicated from original field recordings made on 325 reel-to-reel tapes. Art Rosenbaum made most of the recordings in north and coastal Georgia between 1976 and 1983; a few items in the collection are dated 1955 and 1966. He recorded folk music and folk songs from individuals of predominantly English, Scots Irish, Irish, and African American descent performing bluegrass, old-time music, blues, and sacred vocal music. Recording locations are in homes, at Sacred Harp conventions, and at services in African American churches (documenting hymns, gospel music, prayers, sermons, and an Easter service). There are oral history interviews with some performers, tales and family stories, lectures and demonstrations. Recordings were also made at the 1976 Georgia Grassroots Music Festival and the 1980 and 1983 Georgia Sea Island Festivals.
