Description

[Collector announcement: a collection of edited field recordings, originally made by the collector, and dubbed onto the present tape in ?1978]; examples of scales played on Pennsylvanian German zythers and Appalachian dulcimers. Each example is announced with a reference number, A5...E53. The collector gives information on three informants, who play their own instruments. These were recorded in Marylebone (Kentucky), September 1974, Grassy Creek (North Carolina) and Borderlands (West Virginia). The tunes they play are 'Poor Robin is dead and laid in his grave', 'If we have no time for Jesus' and 'Wildwood Flower' respectively. The collector also gives information on the condition of the instruments and the production of notes. The A to E references correspond to those given in volumes 2 and 3 of the collector's Ph.D. thesis.
