Note: Lomax speaks to Parsons about vernacular dance scholarship; Parsons then puts him on the phone with Matthews who discusses her own research in Haywood Co., North Carolina. (We have preserved the long pauses when Parsons steps away from the phone, as Lomax's conversation with Alan Jabbour [see Jabbour/Lomax, 1987]—which he had taped over—can be clearly heard during them.)
