Wow, what amazing recordings, photos, songbooks, interviews, etc. in the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. Just as a small sample: on the left, we have Bluesman Mississippi John Hurt, Rae Korson (left), and Joseph C. Hickerson (center), in the Library of Congress Recording Laboratory, March 17, 1964. On the right, we have Jessie Lee Smith being interviewed by folklorist Beverly Robinson (right) on the porch of his home, Tifton, Georgia, August, 1977. But the Center also has slave narratives, veterans interviews, ghost stories, and just look at it all...
