content: CDR copy Tape Info: The following tapes were recorded at the 1962 University of California - Berkeley Folk Festival. Many other tapes in the CFCH Archives were recorded at the same festival. FW-ASCH-7RR-1837 is reel 1 of "Workshop 5," recorded on 6/29/1962, announced at the outset by moderator Sam Hinton, as a discussion of popular music. However, to a large extent, it's a monologue by musicologist Dr. Charles Seeger presenting his hypothetical model of the historical development and differentiation of popular, art and folk music. No music is presented. Other panelists include Andrew Rowan Summers and Jean Ritchie. To emphasize the low regard with which folk music is held in most of academia, Dr. Seeger points out (after obtaining audience confirmation) that no one from Berkeley's Music Dept. was present. See FW-ASCH-RR-1841 for continuation of this Workshop.
