Starting digging through old recordings. That only means one thing. Spending money. Once I have it. I used to have quite a few Folkways recordings back when. I don't remember everything I had, but if I see them again, I will remember. I have already added and to my To Buy list. One thing I do know, expanded the Folkways recordings to be available and make purchases hard to turn down. That is, if I recall correctly.

Tod Dockstader - "Eight Electronic Pieces" (1961) @vinylrecords

youtu.be/sBOMxJ7wCdg

Wild to think that this was on Folkways. I don't recall whether there were any other electronic recordings on Folkways, maybe this was a one-off?

Pancakes have been made and consumed, although I'm one of those people who does Pancake Day without doing Lent, because I'm non-religious but I just like sweet food. Although I do like the folk tradition too!

A record of Northumbrian folkways collected in the 1920s claims that pancakes are eaten here on Shrove Tuesday, "and always have been", a bold claim that I love for what it says about folk memory.

Other customs for the day included the ringing of the "Pancake Bell"(otherwise known as the Shriving Bell), a holiday for apprentices, and the playing of football matches - one of which is still famously played on the Pastures at Alnwick on Shrove Tuesday.

Imbolc. St Brigid's Day. 1st of February.

Imbolc is recorded in early medieval Irish sources and was also historically celebrated in Scotland and the Isle of Man. It's generally believed that the origin is older, pre-Christian, and the date is important to many modern pagans as the start of spring. It's also the feast day of St Brigid, mother saint of Ireland, and traditions included the weaving of Brigid's Crosses from rushes. Many believe that Brigid is a Christianised version of a pre-Christian goddess, although she is also recorded as a real historic figure who founded the Abbey of Kildare. It may be that two figures have been conflated.

Imbolc is not recorded as ever being celebrated here in Northumberland, but the reasons for celebrating it as an agricultural festival would have been just as important here. The season for sowing, the start of the lambing, the return of the light, and the promise of warmer, less lean days to come.

I have to admit, design is one of my many weaknesses. While collecting electronic music, I found this Folkways Records album, with all these crazy new beats, tapes loops and experimentation, and with it, I found Ronald Clyne. Ronald Clyne did a lot of Folways cover design and it totally lifts the experience and brings a joy to a collector of both music AND awesome design.

- put out so many LPs on that many are analogous to semi-casual bandcamp drops. side A of "the rainbow quest" from 1960 is pete in one of my favorite tender/mellow modes, including the 1st recording of "where have all the flowers gone," except all the songs are medlied together as choruses/fragments, intended for somber collegiate singalongs, i suspect. side B is more topical/newsy, bringing / songs to american ears.

- resuming going through a giant pile of & records i inherited via @4CPComics@twitter.com. especially enjoying pete's lullabies on side A & adelaide van wey's 3 with zither. i don't often endorse discogs over scholarly discographies, but this this pretty much useless, despite dunaway's wonderful seeger bio. incomplete track lists, no credits for collaborators, zero attempt to establish session dates, much oy. on the other hand, A+ sticker placement.

@gkountourides What are some of your deep dives? Books? Recordings?
I'm in Southwestern Virginia, and have lived in North Carolina and East Tennessee, although originally from the northeast. Overjoyed that the recording archive now includes songs and tales on the label. Like Folkways, the original detailed notes downloadable as PDF files. folkways.si.edu/search?query=F
