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-1843 was recorded on 6/28/1962. The tape box says "Concert Workshop 2, Reel 4." Moderator Sam Hinton states at the outset (perhaps the tape begins after an intermission) that the session is "for the purpose of discussing children's music, here and at home." Children's music is both performed and discussed by Sam Hinton, Bessie Jones, Jean Ritchie and Dr. Charles Seeger. (Only Bessie and Jean sing) For about ten minues at the end, Dr. Seeger denounces modern music education for children, claiming it is probably now at the "lowest stageithat was ever known in history." A handwritten sheet in the tape box lists the songs, ending with three sung by Mike Seeger that were apparently sung after the tape had ended.
