Two reel to reel recordings.
Tammy Murray served as emcee. Often called the 'Queen of Florida Folk,' Fitchen debuted at the Florida Folk Festival at fifteen in 1966 as Eugenia Sisinni.

Search this database for descriptions of photographs and audio recordings from
the Florida Folklife Collection available at the State Archives of Florida. Approximately
46,000 photographic images and approximately 5,000 audio recordings are cataloged.

the digitization project is still in progress, and therefore some recordings
may not yet be available. Please contact
