Note: Lomax calls Nimrod Workman to discuss his ancestry and his Jewell family, and to inquire about photographs of his family for use in the Appalachian Journey episode of Alan's "American Patchwork" series. They catch up about Guy Carawan and Bess Lomax Hawes, Workman's recent visit to the National Heritage Festival, before returning to discuss available photos, Nimrod's mining experiences, and comparisons between mining and railroad work. Brief recitation of "John Henry" lyrics and a discussion of "Gypsies in the mountains," which Alan asks if Nimrod ever encountered.
