Wouldn't you know that fellow'd get get somewhere like that. He came into Greenville when I was home on leave and he gives a dance, There were posters up and everything about him being Blind Boy number two. The people there wouldn't let me go until I got and played a number and the last time I saw Brownie after I played my number was him walking out the door and going to catch a bus out of town. - Baby Tate speaking of Brownie McGhee, from the liner notes to "The Blues of Baby Tate, See What You Done Done" Bluesville # 1072

Alan's 1940 "List of American Folk Songs on Commercial Records," compiled with the help of his sister Bess and a young Pete Seeger, was the culmination of many hours spent listening to an estimated 3000 pre-war hillbilly and race records. It's now available digitally as a PDF through the Root Hog Or Die blog run by ACE's Nathan Salsburg, who offers context for the list and its influence.
