content: Edited film revisits the North Carolina mountains where in the early 1900s English folklorist Cecil Sharp collected British ballads. The film contrasts the nature of the ballad singer with the presence of the jukebox and the impact that this has had on retention of this singing style. Featured is balladeer Dillard Chandler.
