White Top Folk Festival 1931-1939

"The festival thrived. In 1932 an estimated 6,000 people were present on the second day. At the opening in 1933, there were 800 folk musicians and 10,000 people were expected. Many rare tunes and ballads had been heard during the two previous meetings so a 'battery of music critics' was on hand from New York, Detroit, Nashville, St. Louis, Atlanta, and Richmond. Many in the audience were prepared to write down or record by machine any new songs or variants that might be heard..."
