The calls of the old
Southern food peddlers
are this singers love
"HE soft, coaxing voice in the
still morning draws the heart
right out of you as conjurer reels
those yards of paper ribbon from
a hat:
Oh shristy roe, roe, roe, roe
Up to your door, door, door, door
Bet you'll vant more, more, more
OF shrinsty roe. roe. roe.
''Shrimpee-ee-ee-e-e"-and and the
voice of the vendor is lost far
down a street in old New Orleans.
1t was an afternoon in late Janu-
ary that We again heard the
shrimpy roe" call, this time COM
ing from a New York apartment
kitchen. The crier was singer
Adelaide Van Wey - busy prepar-
ing a party dinner with shrimp
avocado bake as the main dish,
rxozn North Carolina
ADELAIDE VAN WEY is a native
North Carolinian and all her grow
ing-up days she listened to the soft.
lush calls of the food vendors, ped
dlers selling wares out of trucks,
out of wagons, from pushcarts,
from baskets.
There are watermelons to be
sold, peaches, blackberries, sweet
oranges, strawberries. vegetables,
flowers. Years of calling in heat,
rain, and wind go into perfecting
their cries. To lessen the tiresome
hawking. variety of words is used
and little tune becomes easier
to repeat than a sharp yell or a
loud call.
The street vendor is passing from
the American scene but Adelaide
Van Wey has written down his
cries, and has sung them into an
album of records which was re-
leased last month.
1t was after she came North to
study music that she came to
realize the Unconscious" music of
the street cries. 1t was then that
she began collecting them from
memory, from friends and from
books.
Adelaide likes to sing while she
cooks and she cooks as she sings,
in an effortless easy way. She isn't
an occasional party show-off cook;
she loves entertaining and no paid
caterer prepares the food for the
Van Wey parties. She cooks every
dish herself and serves it, too,
without aid of maid. Here we give
you the supper menu she prefers
when both men and women are
invited for an evening at cards.
