PAGE 8rÌlif ïi.niiiliiÊ,.T',.1Ïbeing a personal account of the ,author's impressions of this musical retreatby Pamela HalpernWednesday EveningI arrived around 7:30 iust as supper was gettingunderway. Harry Parne and Leslie Nanos, theresident Mariposa in the Woods cooks for the pasttwo years, had prepared a wonderful repast. Theair was tinged with excitement, ¡n anticipation ofsometh¡ng that was about to happen. I felt glad tobe here at last, after hearing so much about theWoods from people who had come last year -things like "it's mystical," and "an experience thatyou carry with you for a long time afterwards."Greeted some folks I knew from Mariposa, butmost of the faces were new to me.After dinner and after everyone had found his or.her respective room, campsite or dorm¡tory, we allgathered in the big room in the ConferenceCentre, the community space where the dancesand concerts would take place. We sat ¡n a largecircle and each person had to say who they wereand why they had come. At firsl everybodyseemed a llttle nervous and a little stiff . There wereapprox¡mately 50 of us, plus 8 inslructors, whoafter introducing themselves had to play a song, ordo a dance, according to whatever they weregoing to be teaching. Many people said that theywere here because they had come last year; it wasfantastic and the food was great. The experiencehad been musically inspiring and, well, evenspiritual in some way.Most of the people were from Toronto, butGuelph, Michigan, Collingwood, Victoria, 8.C.,and Dusseldorf were also represented.The following day's workshops and classeswere explained to us and a huge timetable wasunveiled on a large blackboard. Over the nextthree days we were expected to make difficultchoices f rom a whole range of possibilities. This iswhat the schedule looked like:8-99-1 0Breâkfast10-10:30 BreakRhythm EnsembleGeneral DeliveryOntario StepdanceHarmony SingingBeginning Fìddle -10-i2:00 CommunityTime12-2 Lunch2-3 SingingQuebec DanceAdvanced FiddlePercussion Drop-inPlayford Dancing3-4 Dance Clinrc4-5 Free time - swimming5-6 BanioDance BandGuitarBritish Traditional Repertoirelntermediate Quebec Step-dance6-8 Supper8:30-9:30 EveningConcertDancingParty!l!ThursdayAt 9:00 a.m. I decided to try Harmony Singingwith Suzanne Edmundson, a great country singerformerly of Ohio's Hotmud Family. After only 5hours' sleep, all I could managQ was a weak bassbaritone.Most of the songs we learned weregospel songs, which have some beautiful andsimple harmonies. Suzanne taught us two or threedifferent harmonies to each song. I learned somenew terminology: when singing country music,the parts are not referred to by voice range such assoprano, alto, tenor and bass, but rather by role,Suzanne Edmundston, lnslructor& Becky Peapples make music togelheri.e. tenor part, high part, baritone, etc. lt's not r¡gid.You can sing the bar¡tone part an octave higher ifyou want to.At the break, just-made, warm'blueberrymuffins were waiting for us.From 10:30 to 12:30, CommunitY Time,everyone came together; John Roberts (of JohnRoberts and Tony Barrand) and Michael Cooneyd¡scussed chorus songs. They talked about thedifferent kinds of choruses - alternating lines.nonsense choruses, parts of the verses repeatedto make a chorus, and shanties, worksongs,gospel songs. We tried at least one of each, andpeople started to loosen up a l¡ttle and look likethey were glad to be here.After lunch I went to the Quebec Danceworkshop taught by Normand Legault. Normandis f rom Quebec City, where he teaches dance andhas a performing troupe. Quebec square-dancinghas a real iolliness and joie de vivre that isexpressed in body movement. The various figu¡esthe dancers go through make striking visualpatterns.At 5:00 I had a group banio lesson with 2 otherstudents who were also complete beginners. Ourinstructor, Suzanne, got lost and didn't find theroom until 5:30, so a banio player named Scottwho had shown up for the class started teachingus some basics - clawhammer posit¡on and pullingoff. Scott was incredibly patient w¡th us. WhenSuzanne finally found us she played somebeautiful pieces in modal tun¡ngs, and taught ushow to do the tunings.The Evening Concert featured Normand andCindy Thompson (an Ontario step-dancer parexcellence) contrasting the two provinces' stepdancestyles. Cindy is an incredible technicalvirtuoso and she actually accompanied herself onthe fiddle while step-dancing!! She danced toCajun and country music, iigs, reels, everything!Her infect¡ous enthusiasm is laced with goodhumour. She used to enter dance contests andwin prizes for her dancing but she says she is nowtoo old for it. (28 is too old?) I watched asNormand stood at the side of the stage shaking hishead in disbelief and admiration.After the concert we did some contra-danceswith Lanie in wh¡ch a lot of us gat all fouled.up.Then there was a campfire singaröund outside. Inever made ¡t to the campfire as some "jammers"- Suzanne, Scott, Arnie and Bob - hadassembled in Kate Murphy and Brian Pickell'sroom and were going through swing, oldlimey,and country tunes and songs on fiddles, guitarsand banjos. lt was great and I didn't want to leavethis for.ballad singing.And so, to bed...Delf Hohmann leads outdoor s¡ng-alongFr¡dayVery tired. 1:30 a.m., when I finally went to bed,is considered an early retiring time around here;consequently, no one tiptoes or whispers or stopsplaying or singing. Tried to sleep through the g:00a.m. harmony class, but the music came waftingthrough the walls and under the doors anyway.Sounded really nice. At 10:30, Community Time,Bill Usher led a great workshop on percussion. Hetalked about h¡s var¡ous experiences learningpercussion down in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, andabout travelling in Louisiana (Cajun country) andacquiring his various ¡nstruments such as the"pet¡t fer", Haitian wooden drums, hand drumsand bongos. He demonstrated their varioussounds and showed us how they could be tuned.We then tried clapping out some interestingrhythms 9/8,5/4 time, etc. Bill had initially-beenconcerned that there wouldn't be enoughinterested people to hold a workshop, butultimately his class turned out to have the mostpartici pants.After lunch an impromptu group sprang up.David Kaetz and lsabel Fryszberg and I decided totry singing and harmoniz¡ng to some Jewish-Chassidic melodies. This is what I like best: thespontaneous meet¡ng of musical minds betweenpeople who might otherwise be completestrangers. We went outside and sat underthetreeswhere David taught us two songs: one in Hebrewthat is found in the Saturday morning liturgy, andone round that he wrote himself, in English, but ina distinctly Chassidic style. We worked ondeveloping some harmonies to tunes that useffiË"i."iffiää-läidifferent scales and have different sounds than weÌlili,$The Flavour ol'Mar¡posaare used to hearing. We also worked on bodyexpression getting the right amount of Jewish-angst mixed with self-deprecat¡ng humour. Youcan't sing this stuff without it, right? Of courseright! We decided we would perform these onSunday, al the CamPers' Concert.The 5:00 banio workshop took place outside onpicnic tables. Cath (the person I was roomingwith) and I were the only students, and Scott andSuzanne were there as instructors. Not a badstudent-teacher ratio! We worked on clawhammerpos¡tion for a while and then iust ended up talking.Arnie Naiman dropped by and suggested somerecords and books we could buy in order tobecome more fam¡liar with banio and fiddle tunes.Suzanne was the featured performer at thisevening's concert and performed some baniotunes, country and gospel songs, and some sleazylounge songs on the piano. She was joined by Billon percussion and David on clarinet for a JimmieRodgers tune. Then, more square and contradancing.We are all gett¡ng much better at th¡s.I'm feeling pretty fatigued, but can't sleep forfear of missing something. Tìme is starting to feeltoo short now I can understand why no one-sleeps very much. The excitemeni level is grow¡ngas people are becoming more refaxed andcomfortable with one another.Next on my agenda was John Roberts' BritishTraditional Workshop. Well, there was John,surrounded by 5 or 6 women. What was supposedto be a traditional song circle immediatelydegenerated inlo a cràzy. ptogr'ession of 1950'sand early .1960's memory lane stuff consisting ofthe Everly Brothers, Buddy Holly and RichieValens, with the likes of "Teen Angel", "Tell Laura ILove Her", "Bird Dog", "Peggy Sue", "Wake UpLittle Susie", etc., etc... lt was a great release fromall the serious stuff, and we laughed a lot. AtMITW, anything goes!Sitting at dinner with lsabel and Peter Sussman,trying to decided on what we should name ourlittle Chass¡dic song group for the concert, andtaking opinion polls. "Taco and Blintzes", "Chilion Rye" and the "Klepremes" were suggested.These did not meet with mass approval. JohnRoberts had told us how England's Copper Familygot parodied by the "Kipper Family", and thatfinally gave us the "Klepper Family". Rhymes with"stepper" which sounds folkie. Judith Magier hadnow ioined our group, so there were four of us.Tonight the conference room was decoratedwith coloured streamers and the stage wasredesigned, creating an atmosphere of festivity.People dressed in their best Mariposa in theWoods clothes. This was it-our last night here!Michael Cooney started off the evening, then wedanced, and then John Roberts did a solo set.More dancing, and Surprise! a birthday trif le madeby Harry and Leslie was presented to celebrate theth¡rd summer of Mariposa in the Woods. Besidêthe trif le was an absolutely huge vat of sangria! Weall sang "Happy Birthday" to MITW and then satdown to eat and drink. John and Michael did a settogether; one of the most memorable momentswas Michael's performance of Howard Kaplan'sbeaut¡f ul song "Nogies Creek", which Michael hadfirst heard here last yeár. Howard was iustbeaming.Then it was time for B¡ll's percussion group, the"Your-Rhythmics" to let loose, and let loosethey did, with w¡ld, primal, Polynes¡an-typedancing. Everybody eventually ioined in whilethe drummers pounded away. The percussionistssuddenly evolved into an ad-hoc band of playerswho started the off¡cial dance and through theeven¡ng made the transition f rom swing to blues torock and roll to iazz to tangos to sambas towaltzes. The ever-changing band cons¡sted atvarious times of 2 guitars, piano, percussionists,violins, a ilar¡netist, and singers with bananas ontheir heads (à la Carmen Miranda). And they wenton and on. Someone was heard to remark, "l thinkwe've created a monster!" lt was a spontaneousoutpouring of musical and physical energy thatmoved in every direction and generated awonderf ul euphoria in everyone there. Theexperience will be with me for a long, long time.After all the dancers and musicians hadexhausted themselves, we all drifted ¡nto thelounge and sank into the comfortable arm chairsto do some quiet singing. Everyone looked barelyalive, but there was a reluctance to let go of theevening.ifìì1ÍiwÆSaturdayMissed the first workshop (againl). AtCommunity Time Lanie led a discussion on thefolk process, and went around and asked each¡nstructor to comment on the quest¡on: Do wehave a right to change words in folk songs for anyreason, or should we remain true to the "original"version? As you càn imagine, nothing but morequestions (as well as some strong feelings) cameout of this, like: ls it O.K. to package folk music andmake it into a commod¡ty to be sold as a consumeritem? ls this .lust¡fied in order to bring it to a largernumber of people? This led to other questions,such as: How do we know what the originalversion was? How has folk music been inf luencedby popular music? ls there pop music which isreally folk music? Most of us thought that it's OKto change words when they're blatantly sexist, orwhen you want to localize a song, or when youwant io parody something: The only people whoreally get upset about this are the folklorists, whoseem to feel their role is to tell people what to do(i.e., what songs to sing and howto perform them),rather than simply to document what ¡shappen¡ng. Some of the folklorists have beenquite upset because people were singing songsthat didn't come from the reg¡ons where thesingers live. This notion was rejected by the groupas being absurd! Records have, of course, enabledeveryone to hear all kinds of music from all overthe world. By the time we hear a song, who knowshow far it has travelled between regions andcountries and how many times it has beenchanged? So. the consensus seemed to be: if youlike it, sìng itlWe then split up into smaller groups to discussthese "topics" and then reported backtothegroupon what was said. These issues are interesting tome, and ones that I have considered before. I alsobelong to organizations which promote traditionalfolk music and subscribe to newsletters andjournals where this kind of discussion takes place.I.think that these issues are better served in thejournals than at Mariposa in the Woods. For me,the whole exercise ended up feeling schoolish andcontrived, and contradicted the spirit of theWoods. The context was all wrong. Those thatdidn't particularly care about these ¡ssues feltuneasy, and I think that some of the instructors feltpressured and put on the spot. I don't think theyshould have been put in that posit¡on. lt dividedrather than unified us. This was the only session Ididn't really enjoy.SundayOur last day. The 10:00 Gospel Workshop waswell attended. Then, starving, wé had brunch, andsitting around the table, we shared our feelingsabout the four days. This, I think, was intendgd tobe an opportunity to thank instructors, thank eacholher, say what you l¡ked and what you d¡dn't, andmake some constructive criticism. Whathappened was that and more: there were tears ofthanks, of appreciation, of love for each other.People said th¡ngs about new beginnings. Weagreed ¡t had been very specral, and wonderedhow we could carry this unique feel¡ng back intothe city. Some of us expressed concern that if lhegroup gets much bigger it will be spoiled- biggeris not necessarily better, even though theWoodsstill needs more people to register.And finally, the Campers' Concert, featuringstepdancing, storytell¡ng, ballad singing, countrysinging, an original song about frogs, Germanpeace songs, a Maori chant and primal dance.Playford dancing, the "Your-Rhythmics"percussion group and the "Klepper Family". Davidintroduced us as a Flamenco-Chassìdic band, andthen, unexpectedly, the aud¡ence began to hecklelsabel, who put on her best Yiddislr accent. Theaudience asked her if she had any complaintsabout the Woods. Of course she did! Answertngthe quest¡on with the usual question, she said:"Couldn't we have more people? This is only halfan audience..""What did you think of the shower situation,lsabel?""What showers, where were they, why weren'lthere more?""Where did you get your kerchiefs?""l got mine wholesale, from my uncle on Spadina.""Why don't you stop talk¡ng and play already?"Then, some long-drawn-out emot¡onal leavetaking.A few people madly trying to get to knoweach other better before saying goodbye. Talkingto people we hadn't talked to before. Making plansfor the city. Lots of hugging. I'm hooked. Can'twait for next year.

He was 58 years old. His death marksthe /oss of a valuable cultural treasure; much of hisdance knowledge was not documented on film orv¡deo or ¡n written dance notation, and is nowlorever irretrievable. Some of hls steps are beingcarried on by his daughter, Gina, who heads theGilchrist School of Dance in Ottawa, but many ofthe older sfeps that Donny learned.as a youngsterf rom the Ottawa Valley lumber camp workers havedisappeared with his passlng.As he had requested, a small lrish wake washeld f or Donny, and music was played by hls goodfriend of long standing, Graham Townsend. Thegenerous and exuberant man known as"the fathetof Ottawa Valley step-dancing" is already sorelymlssed.The following article is reprinted from theCanadian Eluegrass Review, Vol. 3, No. 5, 1980,with permission.The one man who has been most responsiblefor the revival of Ottawa Valley step-dancing isDonny Gilchrist. Donny was born in the lrishsettlements in Pontiac County, and from hisearliest years he listened. to fiddle music andresponded by dancing. During the late 20's andearly 30's rural entertainment consisted almostexclusively of fiddJing and step-dancing athouseparties and small local shows; Donnylearned quickly, and dancing soon became veryimportant to him. ln 1935 he moved to Ottawa andcontinued to dance; gradually he became wellknownthroughout the area through his manyperformances with various Ottawa Valley bands,and he began to teach. One of his students wasGilles Roy, w¡th whom he later teamed up in anexcit¡ng performing partnership that lasted fiveyears.By making step-dancing a prominent andpopular item ¡n the many shows he took part in,Donny interested many people in dancing. HeffiDAI\ICINGGIAI\IT'SSHADOWred banner strung between two trees was abright invitation in the sunlight.A child's delight in pa¡nts, costumes andballoons is a vibrant element of any Mariposaevent; no less is the outdoor setting. Of course,good food, beer, quality entertainment and funãre the other staples of a successful productionand form a common definition of a Mariposafestival.

Many tired feet dusted. withJohnson's and Johnson's made off for a welldeservedrest.The Market is a smaller Mariposa monsterthan the Festival, but it has a hefty roarleast- the weathei was on our side' A bright nonetheless. Quite a successful roar, ¡n fact.CNARLTEhimself furthered that interest over the years bytaking on many students, both children andadults. His approach to teach¡ng is remarkable: he¡s perceptive about not only his students'capab¡lit¡es, but also their ¡nterests, and often hewill tailor for a student a unique course selectivelydrawn from his very large reperto¡re of steps.There are few step-dance performers today in theOttawa Valley who have not beèn stronglyinfluenced either d¡rectly by Donny or moreind¡rectly by one of his former students.Donny Gilchrist's performances have carr¡edhim fairly far afield: as a recent example, ¡n 1978 hetravelled (with his daughter Gina, a fine dancer inher own right) as part of Graham Townsend'sgroup Maple Sugar on an extens¡Ve tour of theU.S.; and he has often enjoyed dancing with thelegendary Philippe Bruneau and Jean Carignan.Although many dancers might expect to slowdown a little when they enter their early fifties,Donny is continuing to teach and lo perform withas much zest and enthusiasm as ever.PHONE923-2085 TUES. - FRI. 1lam-7pmSAT. llam'5:3þmHave you ever wondered where you can heartraditional folk music in Toronto on a regularbasis?

This fall,Mariposa in the Schools will be releasing a newfamily folk record called Banana Split. Like itssuccessful predecessor, Going Bananas, thisrecord is a sampler of the various performersworking in the Mar¡posa in the Schools program.This list of participat¡ng artists reads like a "Who'sWho" of children's entertainers: it includes suchwell-known names as Sharon, Lois and Bram, Kenand Chris Wh¡teley, Sandra Beech, Bill Russell,Jerry and Kim Brodey and Eric Nagler. All twentyfiveperformers on the record have pooled theirtalents to create a beautiful whole. This is morethan just another anthology of different artists.fhere are funny counting and cumulative songabout sausages and a man mowing a meadow, aQuébécois song in French and a rhythmic andllively dance tune, haunt¡ng recorder melodies, ajazz-inspired story of the Johnny Cake and arousing sea chantey, all with lots of opportunitiesto sing along.

I have often admired Ann€lLederman as a fiddler, ¡nclub appearances and alI festivals over the past few years. Here, I was strucklOy frer piano style: spare and economical, ye1lmelodically rich a dancer's music. lan Bell's-laccordion playing, like Anne's fiddling, is.l!ustifiablV well-known in Ontario folk mus¡clcircles, and he plays well up to expectations herelWnat is even more pleasing, however, is the extenlIto which his piping has been integrated into th€J musical arrangements to produce a f¡ne, resonan'lfsound deserving of more listening. lan may well be]l right when he says in his notes that th€{arrangement of the final tune,"Monymusk", i:lþrobably the album's closest representat¡on of ¿]backwoods dance band. but there are verv fer¡places on the album where the instrumentationand style of playing do not feel fully in keepingwith that "old Ontario" from which Muddy York'smusic is drawn. ,The accord between material and playing styleseems particularly importantlo an album like this,where a good deal of historical and archivàl workhas been done by the musicians in unearthingunfamiliar music, not all of which has survived,even in variant forms, ¡n folk trad¡tion. W¡thout areal feeling. for how the music was intended to bèplayed, such re-creations can often sound ratherdry - a phenomenon one occasionallyencounters in recordings of medieval andRenaissance music. Here, the feeling is right: ofthe earth, earthy.It's not hard to say which is my own favour¡te setof tunes in this musical feast. After playing thealbum through once I immediately went back andplayed "Promenade" and the un-named "Waltz"two or three times more. What a full and satisfyingsound! Allan Ash, the Cobourg farmer andmusician f rom whose manuscript this set is taken,has here.preserved for us two gems. The cornet isiust right; the only other group I've ever heard usethe ¡nstrument like this is the Engl¡sh group BrassMonkey. No wonder the cornet was "the glamour¡nstrument of the 19th-centUry quadrille band".Among other favourites, the two hornpipes standout as memorable. Nice to hear "Back of Haggard"played at original hornpipe lempo: easy-paced,yet precise.Of the songs, there seems less to say. lt iscertainly good to have them included, and whilesomewhat less impressive than the dance music,they are well sung and lend a good balance andvariety to the album as a whole. "l'll be a Tory" is afascinating h¡storical piece, representing a losttradition of vigorous Canadian polit¡cal satire.One can well understand, however, the energyand rough-hewn verse of the song, but I doubt thatthis particular number will fulfil lan and Anne'sstated ¡ntent¡on of inspiring other music¡ans tolearn some of these pieces of Ontarios mus¡calpast. "l'll be a Tory"'s companion piece, "Up andWaur Them A' ",ìs, however, a del¡ght, bothmelodiòally and in its vocal arrangement, andsomehow seems more immediate, less"historical"as a musical experience. I was less happy w¡th thetreatment of "Arise and Come Along", collectedby Edith Fowke in the early sixties from Mrs.Arlington Fraser. Perhaps my disappointment wastoo personal in nature: this was the f¡rst Canadiansong I decided to learn, some twelve years ago,and it has always held a special placefor me. Here,it just didn't sound'qùite-ás t fêlt'ft S6titútd. Havingstaied the less objective part of my percept¡on, Imust say all the same that in this instance theperformance seems fussy and the song overarranged,and unaccountably changed from itssource in too many deta¡ls. Why the "handsomegir'1" has become a "handsome boy" and the firstverse placed last I was unable to fathom!But these are small criticisms to set beside awealth of praise. Quite apart trom the recording¡tself, lan's album notes are some of the most¡nformat¡ve I have seen in qu¡te some time, a goodcomplement to well-researched, well-performed,gutsy Canadian m'¡sic. Scatter the Ashes is anexcellent début album, and one I know I shallreturn to with pleasure för a long time to come..

The¡r mus¡cdelighted the audience at the 1984 Mariposa FolkFestival. To anglophone folk¡es wishing to sampleFrench-Canadian fare, La Bottine's records are anattractive alternat¡ve to scratchy 78's and lowbudgetviolin and piano collections.While La Bottine's second and third albums arestudio albums, they offer essentially the samesound as the concert performances. La Bottinehad access to multitrack recording equipment butdid not go oveiboard. All of the arrangments canbe re-created on stage with five or six musicianssinging and playing violin, accordion, flute,harmonica and guitar.Les Ëpousailles derives ¡ts name and adworkfrom a ¡vedding photo taken at the turn of thecentury. A few of its songs are directly concernedwith marriage, such as one on getting permissionto marry and another on the pleasures of thewedding night. The rest of the songs describeother aspects of life in Quebec, including thechurch, the hqme and the family.There's a sense of humour that comes throughin the songs, even if one has to reach for theFrench-English dictionary. ln "La confession d'unmoribond" a dying man confesses his many sins.An ord¡nary man explains his troubles in learningto speak proper French in "La chanson de lalangue française". ïhe int¡mate moments of thewedding night are not described in "La nuit denoces"; instead, a chorus of nonsense is sung"C'était-mon tire, lire, lirelO'était mon tourelou,reloure...".The instrumentals are played with energy andprecision. The sounds of accordion and violinreally come al¡ve when the overtones of flute andharmonica are addd to the mix. I especially likedthe solo violin and stepdancing on "Le reel dupendu" ("The Hanged Man's Reel") which rivalsthe recording of the same tune made by JeanCarignan in the early sixties.ïhere are fewer tunes on Ch¡c & Swell (16compáred to 21 on Les Épousailles) and greateremphasis on production. The tunes f low into oneanother and the arrangements are ¡nnovative. ln thefiddle tune "Le batteux", voices take the place ofinstruments; on other tunes, the guitar playsmelodic as well as accompanying roles. Differentovertones and drone notes are created bychanging the v¡olin tuning in "La danse des foins."ln "La ziguezon", the band members display theirpowers of elocution by singing the convolutedlyr¡cs a capella.The album sheds lighl onto Lower Canada'sinfectious joie-de-vivre. "Le bal chez Ti-Guy"describes a wild dancing party. Plenty of wine andspirits are consumed in "La tapinie" and "Les troiscapitaines". For those who can no longer affordthe good stuff, rubbing alcohol will do in a pinch:in "Les robineux" the sub¡ect fills his belly at asoup kitchen, then heads for the park, where hebums a cigarette andpasses the bottle. "L'alcool àfriction, ca réveille le gorgoton.

I recentlypolled people across the country using a questionnot unlike this, and came up with responses whichwere li nguistically correct, h¡storically reassuring,and yet somehow disturbing to referencelibrarians like myself. What I discovered was thatpeople f ind out about folk arts from other people.The folk process happens largely by word ofmouth folk to folk, as it were."What -âbout discographies, directories,bibliographies, trade publicat¡ons, and that sort ofthing?(!)" the librarian in me asks. These were nothot items on the list of top ten folk resources usedby Canadian and American knowledge seekers.They are used, but mostly by librarians of whomfolk¡es ask questions. What this series of art¡clesaims to do ¡s to cut out the middle man (centrewoman-penult¡mate person!) by providing anannotated bibliography of folk resources tailormadefor the Mariþosa community.First let me (the academic in me) justify the needfor such a s'eries. When I asked people to revealtheir sources of folk info, the l¡st was topped byword of mouth, newspapêrs, record jackets, radioshows and the like. Now, these are all goodsources, but my public poll tells me that they don'tturn the trick. ln fact, the net user satisfaction levelis 300/o (approx.) (somewhat satisfied, 290/o;dissatisfied, 31olo). These are not good stats ¡n theworld of info-science.Thé editors of the Notes, in their infinitew¡sdom, have decided to ra¡se the satisfactionlevel and publish this series. ln my perhaps morelimited wisdom, I'm asking you to let me knowyour favourite sources. I'll glean as muchinformation and ins¡ght about them as I can, andwe'll publish them in the form of an annotatedbibliography. OK? Good! To get the ball rolling,let's have a look at Sing Out!SING OUT!

As the Mariposa Notes go topress, Alex McKay (of the Mariposa staff) andDavid Watts are work¡ng late to extract the bestscenes from sêveral hours of video tape. The twohave experience in two vastly different medai:Alex has worked as an independentfilmmakerandhas been involved in documentary making, whileDavid is trained strictly in video. Alex can onlydream of the special effects possible on film butbeyond the scope of video tape; however, he hasto admire the ease of editing video press two-buttons, preview, then do a final edit. No runningback and forth to the lab.The Mariposa video will be used for promotionand fundaraising. The 1979 Mariposa film and thev¡deo together will also be used to introduce newvolunteers to the Mariposa Folk Festival. We'replanning a film n¡ght at whioh both will be seen.The evening will give viewers a chanceto see partsof the 1984 Marìposa Film Festival they might havemissed while they were there. After all, no one canwatch six stages at once! We'll be announcing thedate and time of the film shortly. See you allthere!David l. Warren8.4., M.Sc.
