Notes
- - Recorded by Archibald A. Hill, Mrs. John Faulconer Ware, and Guy S. Lowman, Dunnsville, Virginia, 1935.
- - On jacket and incised on disc: "negress" "Original - 1935"; "near 139, 140" (Community no.), and name, community, and age of informant. On jacket: "Hill & Lowman Original 1935" "Master Copy" "good". This informant shifts between reminiscences and religious chanting, punctuated by laughter. A woman asks some questions as well as GL and AH; based on comments on ADS 1389, this woman seems to be related to the informant's former employer. Based on comments about "Aunt Phoebe" on beginning of ADS 1396, Side B, and on similarity of voice, it seems that Mrs. John Faulconer Ware (ADS 1394-1397) is the woman whose voice is heard in the background of ADS 1387-1390.
