White Top Folk Festival 1931-1939
Description
"Holy folk" settin' there? Not a bit of it. The holy folk are standing outside the ropes while a handful of city folk sit... According to Dave Whisnant, Charles Seeger was not as impressed with the White Top Folk Festival, which he attended in 1936 and considered elitist, as he was with Basom Lundsford's Mountain Dance and Folk Festival, in Asheville, N.C.
