library nyc McCann: Galbraith, McCann, March 8, 1984

Part of the Gordon McCann Ozarks Folk Music Collection at Missouri State University's Special Collections and Archives.

This recording includes 1 tape. This tape was recorded at Perry County, Mo. Elementary Schools on March 8, 1984.

This was a Mid-America Arts Council program. Galbraith and McCann went to Perryville, Missouri for this performance. According to McCann, Perry County had an unusual school system. The entire school was in one complex, with the exception of the preschool that was held in a former grade school at the edge of town. The grade school, Jr. High, and the High School are all on one “campus." Galbraith and McCann got to the auditorium for the performances before 7:00 a.m. More than forty school buses arrived after that. The performances were for the elementary grades and were done in three assemblies for a total of 980 students. First was pre-school and first, next second and third, and last fourth and fifth. Gordon noted, "The first group was, as always with this age group, the most difficult. Children this age really don’t have much concept of time and history which was the basis of our programs." The only microphone was a speaker’s podium with a fixed mike. Gordon notes that when the first group of pre-school- 1st grade was settled, "there was a large pile of overcoats about 15 feet" in front of the stage. While Galbraith and McCann were playing, Gordon "looked down at the mountain of overcoats and there in one of the button holes of a coat there was an eye-ball looking at me. Some child had crawled in under those coats and was watching us that way." Due to the difficulty of keeping the children's attention, some of the teachers got up and started dancing during one of the polkas. The children enjoyed that very much.
