Words that last
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009Just heard the news on NPR of the death of folklorist, labor activist and storyteller, Archie Green. Here’s a quote from Torching the Fink Books and Other Essays on Vernacular Culture:
“The peasant fiddler is as worthy as the symphony violinist; the village cobbler more precious than a pair of boots.”
Thanks for reminding us Archie.
