content: FW-ASCH-7RR-2324 contains a panel discussion held at the initial Newport Folk Festival on 7/12/1959, on the subject of "What is American Folk Music." The panel members include Prof. Willis James of Atlanta Univ., Alan Lomax, Moses Asch, and Prof. Stanley Hyman of Bennington College. The moderator was Marshall Stearns. At the outset, each panel member gave on introductory speech of about 15 minutes. That is followed by a discussion, the beginning of which (perhaps the majority) is missing. The fidelity of the tape is poor. See other sheet for track listing with durations.
