What a great recording!  It reminds me so much of my grandmother who was
born, raised, and lived her entire life in Tennessee.  She was born in 1898
which would have been about the time the speaker was born.  What a purty way
of talkin'!

Folks,

Our own Michael Montgomery ( Distinguished Professor Emeritus of English and
Linguistics at the University of South Carolina) kindly sent me a sample
file of Smoky Mountain English for a dedicated web presentation he is
planning.

He writes this:

Attached to the message forwarded below is a sound file that you might like
to post at the anniversary website. It contains a fine story recorded in
1939 by my coeditor for the _Dictionary of Smoky Mountain English_, Joseph
Sargent Hall. The sound quality is not the best, but is still quite good
considering the fact that it was recorded on aluminum disk two-thirds of a
century ago.  The speaker is Mr. Eugene Sutton of Cataloochee, North
Carolina (now within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park), who was 43
years old at the time of the recording.

Dear Folks

As promised a couple of days ago, I am sending you herewith attached one
sample excerpt from the Joseph Hall recordings. This is a brief anecdote
told by Eugene Sutton (age 43) of Cataloochee, North Carolina, about his
grandfather in 1939.

It's one of the best samples in the collection. You will need Media Player
to hear this file.For those interested in further information on materials
collected by Joseph Hall, you might be interested in knowing that all of his
personal copies have been deposited in the Archives of Appalachia at East
Tennessee State University. As you can discover from the detailed finding
aid at their website (go to cass.etsu.edu/ and from there), these include
not only recordings, but also a very large body of unpublished print
materials, much of which I used in the recently published _Dictionary of
Smoky Mountain English_. That work includes a good bit of biographical
information about his as well. With best wishes

Michael

This is fantastic!

Anyway, he has given me permission to share this file with you.  I have
placed
it here (at least for the time being):

Enjoy!
