Washington so long that he is one

He Hunts For
Old Ballads
APP Newsfeatures

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.-
Sam Eskin,- a stocky, pipe-smOking
man, makes a full-time job of hunt
ting ballads. From the mournful
nostalgia of cowpokes singing on an
ver-shortening range to the robust
songs of railroaders, he pursues a
hobby which has all but become his
livelihood.
Eskin says it was a desire TO sec
"the other side of the mountain"
which started him on a quest al
ready productive of more than a
thousand songs.
Il was always restless" he re-
calls, "and l pulled up stakes when
1 was H." He listened to the homely
songs of lonely men aboard ship, in
logging camp bunkhOuses and on
work gangs. At first he memoriZed
them, later became so fascinated
that he became a chrOnicler of
American narrative set to song. He
records the songs as they are sung
on the spot and later transcribes
words and music.
Eskin avoids the areas which the
ballad has become traditional, such
as the south, and seeks out the trou-
badour in isloated spots. He listens
to the plant of the worker, the sad
song of the unsuccessful, and comes
awav with another bit for his grow
ing list.
Eskin himself seems the proto-
type of the balladeer. He takes it
easy, travelling without actual des-
tination, and it's good enough for
, him to say that he homes to publish
volume of ballads Gin a year Or
So" When funds run low he gives
few leoture-recitals.
A native of Washington. D. c.,
Eskin has spent large norton of
his life west of the Mississipni,
where the stuff from which bal
lads are made is a natural COM
ronent of the country. To. date he
lists sea chanties, spirituals. "hol-
Ter songs" and luguhriouS laments
in his collection. And he wants
more.
