The usual calm and serenity
surrounding Saunders Hall was
somewhat altered early yesterday
aftcrnon when the toe-tapping
strains of "That Good Ole Moun
tain Dew" were heard coming
from one of the classrooms.
Singing the now classic phrases
of the ballad and playing a
solid, steady accompaniment on
the banjo was its composer, Bas
com Lamar Lunsford of South
Turkey Creek. He was in Chapel
Hill for a short visit to look for
talent and to make plans for the
third annual Carolina Folk Fes
tival which will be held this year
in Kenan Stadium June 15, 16
and 17.
"I wrote 'That Good Ole Moun
tain Dew' about 30 years ago, in
1920 to be exact," he told, Dr.
Arthur P. Hudson's English 167
class: "It tells the simple story of
a boy who got into trouble over
some whiskey and about all the
different kinds of people who
came to him for it.
"I recorded the song for Bruns
wick Records and it was well re
ceived. Since then there have
been many variations on the
song and, actually, I think it is
better now than when I cqmposed
it." The song, always a sensation
at the Festival each year, is us
ually sung here by George Pe
gram. Lunsford, who was described
by Dr. Hudson as "a walking en
cyclopedia of North Carolina
folklore," sang several other bal
lads for the class, including a part
of the legend of "John Henry,"
"The Death of Queen Jane," "The
Lass of Roch Royal" and "Dar
by's Ram."
He also talked about his trip to
The International Folk Festival
held in Venice, at which he rep
resented the United States. As for
the- coming festival in Kenan
Stadium, Lunsford said, "Our
programs here are free from car
icature. We don't dress up in old
clothes just to. clown around or
to appear as mountain hicks.
"Folklore is culture, a genuine
art, and this transmission of tra
ditions is important to literature.
Art history in the library is one
thing, but the oral, unwritten his
tory through ballads and songs
is something else and through
festivals each year we carry on
these traditions."
The Carolina Folk Festival at
tracts thousands here each year
and is a highlight of the summer
sessions in the University.
