Pete Seeger plays his banjo and narrates the story. Director: Irving Lerner, Willard Van Dyke Audio/Visual: sound, b&w Keywords: American folk music Creative Commons license: Public Domain Downloaded 1,246 times Average Rating: 5 out of 5 stars Reviewer: vrteach - 5 out of 5 stars - September 11, 2005 Subject: Wonderfull...Thanks Just watched the mpeg2 version, and it is great. Fine views of the "back to the simpler past" movement of American folk music before, just before, it was discovered by the main stream. It gives a glimpse into what the hootenannies were really like in the folk underground in New York of the 1950s before the big media companies took over the name. Reviewer: foxhunt - 5 out of 5 stars - August 13, 2005 Subject: A Slice of Folk History. What a unique picture of America this shows. Captured on black and white film of how music was, before the refinement through comercialisation got its sticky fingers involved and removed the very raw edge that made it music of the people for the people. Although some of it is stagemanaged (and there is nothing wrong with that)clips of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, Step Dancing and Square Dancing make this a wonderful slice of Folk History in America. Reviewer: akb - 5 out of 5 stars - May 17, 2005 Subject: i'm a sucker for good banjo playing ... ... and this video did me well.
