Quote for the Day:

The student earnestly concerned with the preservation of this music may not know that an unrecorded wealth of it probably still remains unexplored. At the first meeting of the Mountain Folk Festival at Berea, Kentucky, in April, 1935, both Mrs. Campbell and John Jacob Niles, a collector of mountain music, stated that many counties still possess undiscovered resources. In exploring the southwest section of North Carolina, for instance, several new finds were recently recorded, and among comparatively new accessions is a delightful carol which Mr. Niles first heard in the summer of 1933 from an itinerant girl singer on the street in Murphy, North Carolina. The song entitled I Wonder as I Wander is noted here for its archaic beauty:

I wonder as I wander, out under the sky,
How Jesus the Saviour did come for to die,
For poor on'ry [ordinary] people like you and like I . . .
I wonder as I wander, out under the sky.
