FW-ASCH-5RR-4445 contains the singing of Robert Dixon, who was the Director of Music for Meridian Public Schools in Meridian, Mississippi. A newspaper clipping from the Meridian, Miss. Star (date not present), discusses Mr. Dixon, his background, education and three-stringed dulcimer. (A copy is in the CD jewel case, tape box; the original in the Rinzler Archives.) He associated with folksinger John Jacob Niles, was influenced by him, and some of the songs associated with Niles are on this tape. Mr. Dixon's style of dulcimer playing is a straightforward rapid strumming. He style of singing is more classical than folk. For some songs, he accompanies himself on a harp. He sings well-known versions of traditional songs.
