Checking out an album where Alan Lomax himself performs folk and blues songs he learned traveling across Texas. He has a good voice for rustic folk/country/blues.

In honour of our new age of #OutlawHeroes, a blast from the past from way back in March 1940, #AlanLomax talking with #WoodyGuthrie about Charles Arthur Floyd whom you all know as #PrettyBoyFloyd

as through this world I've rambled
I've seen all kinds of men
some will rob you with a six-gun
some with a fountain pen

#Bales2023FilmChallenge August 22: #folklore on #FolkloreDay

On May 1 an ancient procession goes around #Padstow, #Cornwall. How ancient, no one really knows. Locals may describe it as a pagan fertility rite but even their generational memory draws a blank and no living soul can put an age on it. #AlanLomax's Oss Oss Wee Oss (1953) is probably the best known visual documentation of the #ObbyOss festival ☞ https://write.underworld.fr/settima/oss-oss-wee-oss-1953

Questions I’d like to ask

Chris Strachwitz said Lomax complained about all the Accordions in his Mexican border documentary Chulas Fronteras

Chris was like, Alan, have you been to the Mexican border in the last 30 years?

#ChrisStrachwitz was rare among American folk revivalists for appreciating the #Accordion before it had it's first "revival" in the 1980s (led by artists he helped bring to attention)

He laughed telling me how much #AlanLomax hated accordions (Mentioned in my #AccordionRevolution 🪗📚🤓)

Thanks to clearer ears like Chris’s, we have reissues like these of #CliftonChenier

It’s a much abbreviated Noir City Seattle for me this year, for various reasons, but I had the pleasure of catching They Live by Night and Raw Deal down at SIFF Egyptian today. Nicholas Ray is always special. Also learned that Ray did some field recordings with Alan Lomax back in the day. Small world. #Film #Movies #Noir #NoirCity #NicholasRay #AlanLomax #Cinema
