FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1948 UNIVERSITY, DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE ELEVEN British Ballads Survive Best In US Backwoods Country Washington—(UP)—The British may deny it. But the Library of Congress says it's a fact that English folk songs have survived better in Kentucky and Tennessee than in Britain. Maybe the hills box up an echo better. Maybe the mls box up an echo better. When the library started collecting recordings of original English hallads it looked south instead of across the sea. The records are included in 10 new albums issued by the library's folklore section headed by Duncan Emrich. The whole project started when the Carnegie foundation donated a large sum to establish a recording laboratory. Now when Mr. Emrich hears of a good original, he hustles out some fancy equipment to record it for posterity. How some of the originals were recorded adds up to some interesting reading. For instance a song called "Lord Bateman." Artus, Moser, a high school teacher and collector from Swannana, N. C., heard of a hill-billy singer and guitar player in Manchester, Ky., named Pleaz Moble- Miss. Ada Swineford, who is on leave to do graduate work at Pennsylvania State college is also attending the meeting. It was before the war and the young man never had been out of the Bluegrass state. Mr. Moser talked him into accompanying him over the state line to a spot in the Dr. R. C. Moore, research director of the Geological Survey, and Dr John C. Frye, executive director of the state geological survey, are in New York attending the annual meeting of Geological Society of America. Young Mr. Mobley slung his guitar around his neck, opened his mouth and cut loose. The song finished, he went marching off to war and wound up in the South Pacific. hills near Harrogate, Tenn. Mr. Moser lugged along his recording equipment and one 25-cent cardboard record, with grooves on one side only. Eventually, Mr. Moser got around to offering the record to the Library of Congress. Experts heard it and were impressed. Here, they said was an effort that would make "Lord Bateman" live through time. After the war, the library gathered a crew of engineers and high priced equipment and hied for the hills. They took Mr. Moser and Mr. Mobley to a streamlined recording studio where the accoustics were just right. The original, made on paper, now is one of the rarest in the library's collection. Mr. Mobley took his new guitar and sang the song again. Somehow the results weren't the same. Maybe it was science butting in with fancy instruments. But most likely it was Mr. Mobley's association with the Pacific. He had pepped the thing up; even tom-tommed it in a few places. KU Geologists Attend Meet In-NY Of Geological Society One tune was called "Down, Down, Down". The library was especially anxious to get a good recording of it. A picked group of singers, all but one over 60 years old, was chosen from among the miners and the trook began. Another time, a professional recording crew went to the Pennsylvania coal mines with instructions to bring back on wax a "distinctive Celtic" flavor in music. The engineers approached an old-timer in coal-blackened shirt and pants who, looked as if he might possess a rich baritone. He had a dandy. They asked him if he knew "Down, Down, Down." "I do that," he said, "but I'm going to sing 'Mother Machree'." The engineers explained patiently that "Mother Machree" was indeed a fine tune, but that wasn't the one the boss wanted. Whereupon the old man whipped out'a shotgun and thundered. mourner "I'm singin' 'Mother Macree'" Some say the old man was kidding. But "Mother Machree" was recorded. So was "Down, Down, Down"—later.
