On this episode of The African American Folklorist, I share the story of the born free, African American Traditional Music Practitioner Elijah Cox, who was a fiddler, Buffalo soldier, and recorded in 1935 at the age of 93 for the Library of Congress Elijah Cox was also interviewed and recorded for the Born in Slavery: Slave Narratives from the Federal Writers' Project, 1936-1938, which now lives can be found of the Library Of Congress Website.  As I share the story of Elijah, I make the case that he was and utilized the tools of the folklorist.  Written, Produced and Edited by Lamont Jack Pearley -  Credits for sound design & Music Elijah Cox - Run up on The Mountain, Slavery Days, Can’t put the saddle on the ol great mule Lamont Jack Pearley - Blues Journey  & Underground Slide Excerpts from "Fife and Drum Music of the American Revolution: Military Music in America series, vol. 1," produced by the Company of Military Collectors & Historians, Washington, D.C. with George P.

This is part three, the last episode of the series of the Jack Dappa Blues Podcast Series in affiliation with Lonestar Blues & Heritage Festival about Henry Thomas, also known as Henry Ragtime Texas Thomas featuring our recurring guest The American Songster Dom Flemons.   On this last installment, we discuss the blues of Henry Thomas, the similarities of his songs to what W.C. Handy expressed he heard the first time he experienced the blues and the rich history of African American Traditional Music that comes out Texas.  Podcast also available on iHeart, iTunes, Apple Podcast, Radio Public, Spotify , Google Podcast and more! Henry Thomas was one of the oldest black musicians who recorded 23 cuts on Vocalion Records between the years of 1927 - 1929. his music is a great opportunity to hear what African American Traditional music sounded like near the end of the 19th century. Henry Thomas’ body of music connects the roots of black music in Africa, from the nineteenth and twentieth-century African American folksong to the essence of the blues, as well as everything in between and thereafter.
