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-1844 is reel 3 of Workshop #5, recorded on 6/29, 1962. Reels no. 1 of and 2 of the same workshop are contained on FW-ASCH-7RR-1837 and -1841. Reel 3 includes Dr. Charles Seeger, Mike Seeger, Andrew Rowan Summers, Jean Ritchie, Sam Hinton, and, from the audience, Malvina Reynolds and Merritt Herring. It contains a spirited, spontaneous, free-ranging discussion on the characteristics of folk and popular music and their interactions, often focusing on change, whether within a tradition, within popular music (subject to more rapid change), or across genre lines and over time. Legitimacy of a modern singer changing or composing a "folk song" is discussed. In passing, the following are considered: John Jacob Niles, Marian Anderson, Rodgers and Hammerstein, rock and roll, jazz, improvisation, etc.
