And What
They Do
Alan Lomux Will
Sing Ballads
For Royalty
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

Lead Belly will not sing for the
King and Queen, but it is doubtful
If any singer could be found who
would please them more. However,
they will be entertained by songs
from the album by the big, knife
toting swamp Negro who sang his
way out of two Southern peniten-
tiaries.
The singer will be Alan Lomax,
son of John A. Lomax, curator of
folksongs for the Library of Con-
gress. The program will include
such songs as Bring Me a Little
Water, Sylvia" I'm All Down and
Out, Little Down and Out" Whoa
Back, Buck" and Gee Bye Lamb"
all from Lead Bellys repertoire.
The Lomaxes have been scouting
songs for years, riding an old Ford
everywhere in wayside "iungles."
river towns, the COW country, min
ing camps, levees and wild border
regions. They have scored them and
recorded them and built them into
the greatest anthology of folksongs
anywhere in the world, available to
all comers in the Library of Con-
gress. The British are partial to
American folk lore, even if it in
cllnes somewhat to quantity homici-
dal ballads or mortuary laments,
But, like Carl Sandburg, the
Lomaxes have found mother lode
OF both romance and aspiration in
the songs and, at this distance, it
seems like a nice gesture of hos
pitality-picking Alan Lomax to sing
for the King and Queen.
Mr.. Lomax is probably Americas
leading authority on balladries.
Hearing the cowboys sing at night
in his native Texas first turned his
interest to folksongs. Graduating
from Harvard, he was awarded the
Sheldon fellowship for the investi-
cation OF American ballads. In his
book, American ballads and folk
songs" he includes the words and
music OF several hundred pieces,
which he has traced, so far as pos
slole, to their origin. In 1905 he
recorded for the Carnegie Corp.
1000 native songs from all parts of
the South. Alan Lomax has a nice
voice and an alert ear and between
them they are salvaging a big slice
OF the American dream.
The tireless activities of the
Lomaxes would seem to account for
the yen for guitar playing which
has swept Washington in the last
few years. This writer once noted
a justice of the Supreme Court
sitting cross-legged on the floor and
piping up in the bad-man song,
