Friday performances at the 1987 Florida Folk Festival (Folklife Stage) (Reel 3)
- Date
- 1987-05-22
- Description
- One reel to reel recording. Changes and Continuity in Commercial Fishing workshop: Folklorist Taylor interviewed the fishers about types of commerical fishing (crabbing, mullet, shark, and trout fishing), and changes in the ecology and the industry over time. Noles was from Crescent City, and Corbin was from Steinhatchee. The folklife area in 1987 focused on Maritime folklife, which stemmed from Taylor's work on the 1986 Maritime Heritage Project, and cooperative project between the FFP and the Library of Congress.
