Mountain Musings
by Gene Byrd
Treat in Store: i
It appears that the first
Valley Folk Festival to be held ;
Saturday evening in Owen |
High school auditorium will I
be a real treat. \
The more I hear concerning i
the program and the people
connected with it, the more ;
1 feel that something worth- ■
while is, a borning.
1 am always impressed and i
touched when a group of i
people, without ulterior mo
tives. attempt something for
the good of the whole com
munity.
Since our area has been
noted for years as a rich
source of folk lore, and since
we have a number of out
standing folk music artists, it
is in order that these riches
lie perpetuated. We cannot
keep the intangibles alive ex
cept we interest the youth of
the valley in their heritage.
Betty Alexander tells me
that it is planned to make the
festival an annual affair. I'm
glad.
Betty also relates that the
Silo Circle theater has big
plans for the coming summer.
Supporters of this enterprise
will be glad to hear this.
Let s Help Artus:
Artus Moser, distinguished
in so many ways, is searching
for authentic items to be
placed in the restored Zeb
Vance birthplace on Reems
Creek.
If any of you have any items
that were in use before the
Civil War, Mr. Moser would
appreciate hearing from you.
Speaking of Ballads:
I was rather amazed when
I read about the recent visit
of the Russian delegation that
visited Bascom Lamar Luns
ford over on Turkey Creek. It
seems that they wanted to
hear a rendition of Casey
Jones, but none of the musi
cians present knew more than
a few snatches of the song.
I wager a generation of
“railroad men” turned over

n their graves then and there. c
One cannot easily banish the 1
sight of an old section hand, J
[Kitting his foot to get the t
Deal, tilting his chin and then 1
with great gusto belting out 1
on:
"Come all you, rounders, if j
you want to hear the story
abon a brave engineer. Casey
Jones was the rounder’s name. .
On a six-eight wheeler, boys,
he won his fame”.
As a little tad, my favorite
line went something like this:
“Casey said, ‘Boys you had
better jump. There’s two
locomotives, and they are go- ■
mg to bump’.”
Poor Old Corena:
Us old timers always like
to hear one of the old tunes
revived.
Awhile back, my teen-aged
son told me about one of the
latest hits in the teen circles.
Upon inquiry. I found that
the title was Corena.
Hearing this song took me
back in time to my fourth
grade days. We went to the
auditorium to hear a program
on fire prevention. A speaker
held forth for a while. Then
he informed us that a young
man named Walt Davis would
sing for us.
A good looking young iei
low came on stage and. ac
companying himself with a
guitar, song Corena. I can
hear him in memory’s ear now.
“I love Corena, tell the
world I do. I love Corena, tell
the world I do. Just a little
more living, make your heart
beat true”.
During basketball season, a
station-wagon load of players
and fans were on their way
homo. The front seat was
pretty well filled by such per
sonages as Mrs. Kirby Whit
aker, Clyde Gray and the Old
Muser. A gay group of teen
agers occupied the remaining
two seats. Someone said, “Let’s
sing Corena.”
Kirby, Clyde and I started
singing the tune we knew; the
young folks started with the
tune they knew. Well, about
all I can say is that Corena
died an unnatural death some
where between the express
way and Beaucatcher tunnel.
It’s something about the
beat!
The Face of Sorrow:
I want to extend my sym
pathy to the family of Fred
Dotson.
I was honored when these
fine people asked me to con
duct the last rites for their
loved one.
I didn’t realize how many
friends of my mother and
father were numbered in this

mourners filed the Taber

came up and asked me if I

Little Women To
Be Given Here
On April 8
The Girl Scouts of Troop
W have been busy for several
weeks rehearsing and collect
ing costumes to be ready for
their presentation of "Little
Women” in the Primary school
auditorium, April 8.
The girls have wanted to
produce a play for several
years and finally decided on
'‘Little Women”, a three-act
comedy adapted from the
novel by Louisa May Alcott.
This stoiy has been a favorite
for many years and is espe
cially pleasing when seen on
the stage. The play is being
presented by special permis
sion of Northwestern Press,
Inc.
Several local people have
been kind enough to loan per
iod costumes and accessories
and it will be worth the price
of admission just to see the
fashion show of another age.
As the costumes are col
lected and stage properties are
developed, the girls are be
coming more enthusiastic
about learning their parts.
Everything points to a very
enjoyable evening for all.
The ticket sale will start
March 27. Tickets will be
available from members of
Troop 98 and will also be
available at the door. ,
