Wow. Where'd you stumble across this treasure?
Treasure is the proper word.
These are all from Harry Smith's original liner notes for his Anthology of American Folk Music. All of the songs in the ballads section have a one or two sentence headline synopsis in addition to the historical notes. He compiled the booklet himself and a lot of the images are clippings from music catalogs and other contemporary periodicals (1920s-1930s).
I'm visiting my parents this week and while I'm here and still have access to their scanner I plan to get some more selections up. The booklet is almost as much fun as the recordings themselves.
Does the next headline refer to "King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki-Me-O" by Chubby Parker?
verily, Mr. Luz, verily it does
