Between 1933 and 1946, John A. Lomax made some 80 hours of recordings in the state of Texas, his home state. (John was born in Mississippi in 1867, but his family moved to rural Bosque County, Texas, near Waco, just after his second birthday.) It's a massive amount of material, reflecting an extraordinary diversity of vernacular traditions, and featuring the first and last recordings that John made. We've labored for quite a few years to secure the funding to digitize, catalog, and make available the collection in its entirety, but have to date come up short. In 2020 our colleagues at the Library of Congress' American Folklife Center kindly provided us with the transfers they'd done some years earlier of the ten hours of Texas recordings that John and his second wife Ruby Terrill Lomax (“Miss Terrill,” as he always called her) made in the spring of 1939—our idea being that this discrete collection could function as a representative sample of all the Lomax Texas material while we continue our efforts to digitally preserve and make the entirety available. With the support of the National Endowment for the Arts, we digitally cataloged all of the ‘39 recordings and prepared the catalog for inclusion in the Lomax Digital Archive, where they are now available for your exploration and enjoyment (here). 1. Charles Eckhardt, Otis Evans, and Clinton Saathoff: The Fox and the Hounds (Pipe Creek, Bandera County, May 4, 1939)2.

Texas Democratic Candidate for Governor Beto O'Rourke didn't mince words. He continues to point out the failures of Gov. Greg Abbott and the changes he intends to make to support his fellow Texans. Today, I caught up with the Texas Democratic Candidate for Governor, Beto O'Rourke. The former Congressman has been all over this large state non-stop. He would likely give James Brown, the hardest-working man in show business, a run for the title but for politics. Beto was leaving Missouri City in Fort Bend County, heading to Corpus Christi, a rather long drive. He is shoring up his base in counties like Fort Bend, Harris, Dallas, Travis, Bexar, El Paso, and Nueces while still getting his message to rural Texas. After all, it is the policies he supports that will reopen those closed rural hospitals, saving the lives of thousands who lack care or cannot get to emergency rooms in the timely manner necessary to save their lives when critical care from accidents and other medical emergencies occur. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support
