Whoopie Ti-yi-o
On July 17, 1939, Alan Lomax reached out to Myra E. Hull, a dedicated ballad collector from Kansas, praising her article on cowboy songs. Their connection was rooted in a shared passion for folklore, exemplified by Myra’s earlier recordings made in Lomax’s presence. As one researcher revisited Myra’s unique rendition of the iconic “Git Along Little Dogies,” it became clear that her voice offered a fascinating glimpse into her life and the rich tapestry of Great Plains music.
Tom Isern captures another of the paririe’s past in this edition of Plains Folk. It’s easy Sunday reading.
