content: FW-ASCH-7RR-2809 is one of a series of at least six tapes of interviews of Kiowa Indians recorded by Harry Smith in the town of Anadarko, Oklahoma. Although some of his recordings of Kiowa Indians were used on the Folkways recording, "The Kiowa Peyote Meeing" (FW04601), the current tape wasn't used and there is no mention of peyote in it. However, the liner notes for that album indicate that Harry originally intended there to be about eight albums and one of them was to be "Litha Chesney's Ballad Boxes." The tape was recorded on 4/24/1964 and continues conversation and song with Litha Chesney. No Indian songs are present. After the first two songs, most of the songs are folk songs; one - The Soldier's Sweetheart - relates to the Spanish-American War. Harry Smith's song list is included. In brief "biographical notes," Litha mentions that she is 77 years old.
