Alright.

Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
20:32

20:33
|
Alright. Let's play.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
27:59
-
27:60
|
Alright.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
32:60
|
Alright.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
35:48
-
35:50
|
[inaudible] Now go.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
40:39
|
Alright sing!
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
41:31
-
41:33
|
Go ahead. Sing it again.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
45:50
|
How long ago was that?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
45:56
|
How did you happen to be going around getting songs?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
46:06
|
What is the song called?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
46:17
|
Will you try to emphasize, give me the approximate rhythm of the hammer with the stick by hitting it against that?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
48:08
|
I see you, you seem to be hitting down twice for a hammer. Why is that?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
48:23
|
Immediately afterwards?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
48:27
|
I see [strike, strike] and how long is that between the double strikes?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
48:37
|
And who does the singing?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
48:46
|
Is this for a whole crew of men?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
48:55
|
What I'm asking you is if you hear that you only hear the one man singing on a whole section of track.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
49:09
|
Well now look, uh, the only thing is that you were giving a long piece of singing without the rhythm of the hammer and I want to know approximately how often that comes.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
49:34
|
[inaudible]
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
49:47
|
Inaudible.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
49:57
|
What kind of song is it?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
50:51
|
I'd like you to do that again. But this time, when they have . . . What do they call the irons they use?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
50:57
|
Alright. The lining bar. When they work but don't you hear the clink of it?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
51:08
|
They hit against it?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
51:13
|
Because over in Mississippi, they showed me by hitting the thing. They said that the way that they did it was by several men taking a short hit.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
51:31
|
Well, now what do they do? Are they pulling it, pulling it --
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
51:34
|
In other words, they have it underneath and they're using the lever to go forward.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
51:40
|
Alright.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
51:43
|
About how many are there on a bar?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
51:44
|
Oh, some time it's about 7 or 8 on at one time.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
51:49
|
Hmhm. Well, I suppose you try it and you sing it over again.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
51:53
|
Or chant it.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
52:34
|
What's it used for?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
54:04
|
About how long ago?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
56:01
|
This is again for lining?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
56:03
-
56:06
|
Now where is the movement?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
56:12
-
56:16
|
In other words, this song gives them quite a lot of rest in between.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
56:17
-
56:18
|
And a harder shove?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
56:21
-
56:26
|
It seems to have had a different effect from the other lining one you gave, I mean that one about Mobile.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
57:19
-
57:22
|
Well, wait a minute. They pull back . . . and how are they facing in relation to the rail.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
57:25
-
57:28
|
In other words, they're pulling up on the bar.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
57:33
-
57:36
|
Well, what do they do? Do they, how do they get it under the bar, the rail?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
57:41
-
57:43
|
Do they have to look back at it or do they just feel it?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
57:50
-
57:60
|
Well, uh, you were saying, you were explaining that there's different rhythms that they have. Are there any particular times when a faster on or a slower one would be used?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-243
|
58:31
-
58:32
|
Alright.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
0:12
-
0:16
|
Well, is it known, is it a consistent song as you hear it all over?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
0:24
|
I mean does it have the same choral verses? Does it have 'Mule on the Mount' wherever you hear it?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
0:35
-
0:39
|
Where did you learn it this particular way?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
0:46
-
0:48
|
And this is one version you're going to sing?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
0:53
-
0:54
|
Alright.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
3:39
-
3:47
|
When you hear that sung, or nearly sung, about how many verses does a man know? He doesn't know as many as you do.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
3:50
-
3:51
|
Is one of these continuous?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
3:57
|
[inaudible]
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244

What's your name, please?

|
And how old are you?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
4:21
-
4:23
|
And what are you going to tell us or?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
4:28
-
4:29
|
How long ago?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
4:31
-
4:32
|
A short, a short while back.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
4:35
-
4:38
|
I mean, how did it, it happened long ago . . . what do you mean by that?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
4:41
-
4:43
|
Well, how did it go? I mean how did it --
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
4:48
-
4:48
|
Uh-huh
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
4:51
-
4:54
|
The negro told it to him when? I mean did he ever tell you that?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
4:57
-
4:59
|
I mean the negro had just told him the story?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
5:01
-
5:07
|
I see. And you don't have any name for it? Is that right?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
5:12
-
5:13
|
Just, okay, [laughing] go ahead .
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
5:16
-
5:19
|
Well, let's start off with just one. That's the easiest way.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
5:20
-
5:23
|
Alright. Well, can you tell it or are you going to tell it or read it?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
5:25
-
5:26
|
Alright. Go ahead.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
7:27
-
7:33
|
Now look, suppose you don't read it from there and you just tell me it as a story. Go ahead. You can do it.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
7:33
-
7:33
|
Alright. Go ahead.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
7:36
-
7:36
|
Go ahead.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
9:11
-
9:17
|
I think it's better if you explain just how the cards, which way the cards get out or how people are standing there before you go on.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
9:42
|
Well, what does he do? Is the dealer holding the deck of cards?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
9:49
|
Alright.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
9:53
|
He just turns over . . .
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
13:29
-
13:34
|
What, is it sung before the respectable ladies?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
13:42
-
13:44
|
I thought you heard it from women?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
13:46
-
13:47
|
Go ahead.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
15:55
-
15:57
|
Is there more to it?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
16:06
-
16:08
|
I think that's a very valuable contribution to scientific recording.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
16:13
|
Alright.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
16:24
-
16:24
|
Well, what type of song is it?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
16:59
-
17:03
|
How do they play it? Would you tell us very quickly?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
17:07
-
17:09
|
Was it, is it solo dancing?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
17:10
-
17:12
|
Well, what kind of group is it?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
17:31
-
17:33
|
Where did you get it
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
17:37
-
17:42
|
Can you tell me, do you know how old a Blues it is? And how you happened to learn it?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
19:56
-
19:57
|
Who did you hear it from and when?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
21:13
-
21:16
|
You said you learned it in a crowd. How do you learn most of your songs?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
21:44
-
21:48
|
Well how about those that you have in your books and publish in the journals?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
23:09
-
23:11
|
You say that was uh. . . when was that sung?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
23:27
|
Alright.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
23:49

23:51
|
Where did you pick up the way you sing it?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
26:34
-
26:35
|
Just play it for me in ballad.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
28:57:00
|
Your name, age?

And where were you brought up?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244

Uh, huh, What do you mean 'voice'? Singing?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
29:19:00
|
Uh-huh, Alright. But you were brought up, most of your life, you spent right around here?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
29:34:00
-
29:54:00
|
Alright, now you'll tell the story. Apparently the interest in the story is just to have you talk naturally and at the same time, we'll have the story. So, would you try --
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
30:39
-
30:45
|
Dr. Corse would you please explain why we asked to have this record made?

|
31:14
-
31:15
|
Dr. Corse will you please introduce the speaker?
|
Herbert Halpert |

Can you state your name, your age, and your occupation?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
32:41
-
32:45
|
And, uh, you are also a preacher, aren't you, sir? What congregation?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
32:48
-
32:55
|
Now, uh, this isn't part of your usual, as a missionary Baptist, does your church approve of singing?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
32:57
-
33:01
|
You're going to help us out with these, however?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
33:06:00
|
Now you have one, you have that holler, that uh?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
33:12:00
|
What, would you explain something about how it was used and when or something like that?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
33:18:00
|
Go ahead. Tell me something about it.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
33:46
-
33:50
|
Let me interrupt you here. Now that, that, what would you call that?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
34:12
-
34:17
|
Suppose you give the effect of actually being out on the farm?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
35:03
|
No, no there's another one without words.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
35:22:00
|
How would it sound, suppose someone had just haerd it, what would they hear?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
35:52
-
35:54
|
Where would the two of them be?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
36:15
-
36:17
|
Would they be near each other? Or? Or?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
36:20
-
36:24
|
Would you do it again? Was it the same effect between a quarter mile [inaudible] do a quarter mile.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
38:01
-
38:03
|
Are there more verses to that?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
38:06:00
|
Will you sing that, will you repeat the point [inaudible]
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
38:47
-
39:07
|
Now, Those last directions, were they taught, is that what he called out for them to do?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
38:53:00
|
What do they do on the song part, I mean.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
38:56:00
|
They'd be dancing.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
39:01:00
|
I see. The last part was giving directions. The rest of the time they were dancing.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
39:06:00
|
What kind of dancing were they doing?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
39:16:00
|
Go ahead.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
40:01

You did? Well, woud you start in with?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
42:41
-
42:45
|
When you were small did you play it with a guitar.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
42:46
|
You're playing it with a guitar since then. Why are you singing it with a guitar? Can you sing it without?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
42:52
|
Well, would you try it without?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
42:55
|
Try it without.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
42:57
-
42:60

That's alright. Don't worry about it. Go ahead.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
43:60
-
44:04
|
And that's one you used to, you used to play games to that?
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244

44:12
|
Explain about that.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
44:25
-
44:28
|
Well, where was this? Where would you be? You wouldn't be doing it in the church.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
|
44:29
-
44:30
|
Just playing.
|
Herbert Halpert |
S1576 , T86-244
