My Dearest Dear 5:12 -- -- -- -- -- I learned each of these traditional songs from the singing of my grandmother, Margaret MacArthur. Originally from the Ozarks, mountains of northern Arizona, hills of Kentucky, and swamps of South Carolina, my grandmother moved, in the 1940s, to an 1803 abandoned farmhouse in Southern Vermont and began seeking, collecting and singing the old folk songs that resided, mostly hidden, in these Vermont hills. She bought herself a Wollensak reel-to-reel tape recorder, and with her two-year-old daughter Megan in tow, began trekking around the back roads and hillsides of this part of Vermont, recording old people singing mostly-forgotten songs. Soon she began performing them in public. In 1962, Moses Asch, then director of Folkways Records, heard her sing and requested she send him a recording of some of her music. FOLKSONGS OF VERMONT was the first record of what became for her a nine record career.-- -- In 2010 our band, Red Heart the Ticker, received a Creation Grant from the Vermont Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts to record an album of neo-renditions of a few of the songs Margaret collected and loved. We immediately set up our laptop and microphones in Margaret"s study-the room in which she died-and started recording "Your Name in Secret I Would Write." -- -- (Source: Taken from an essay by Robin MacArthur, July, 2011) -- Another listing by Zip
