Note: Joe Williams reminisces about early blues and other songs he heard as a child, among them "Joe Turner," "St. Louis Blues," "Peggy Lee," "Leather Britches" (which he remembers as "Jimbo"), "Boll Weevil," "Alabama Bound." He discusses working on the railroad and steel-laying songs; Lomax attempts to prompt his memory with some work-song fragments. Mable Hillery can be heard singing to herself in another room.
