Saturday performances at the 1996 Florida Folk Festival (Main Stage) (Tape 5)
- Date
- 1996-05-25
- Description
- One digital audio tape (DAT). Williams served as emcee. The first three songs the Versiteers played (not listed here) were not recorded due to equipment failure. Mortham was Secretary of State at the time; the Florida Folklife Program and festival fell under her jurisdiction. She officially recognized McLean as a Florida Artist. This was followed by a McLean tribute, including stories and performances by Southwind, Fitchen, Frank & Ann Thomas, Kennedy, Todd, and Williams. Singer-songwriter Will McLean was often called the 'Father of Florida Folk.' The Black Hat Troubadour, a nickname for the hat he usually wore, authored over 3500 songs, and was a national figure on the folk music scene. A fifth generation Floridian, he died in 1990, the year after he won the Florida Folk Heritage award. Grooms played with Dennis Devine (guitar), Waye Martin (fiddle), Dan Peterson (bass) among others.

Recording of the Folk Arts Apprenticeship Review Committee of the Florida Folklife Council for 1993-1994
- Date
- 1993-09-24
- Description
- Four audio cassettes. The meeting was held between 1pm and 5pm at the Visual Arts Building Conference Room (University of Central Florida) to decide upon which master-apprentice applicants would receive funding for 1993-1994. Folklorist Stone submitted twenty-five applications to the committee, which consisted of Jumper, Hansen, Tucker (non-voting member), Bucuvalas, Congdon, Foreman, Rodriguez, and Waterman. Bureau chief Loomis also attended. After ranking each application, the committee recommended the following teams: palmetto basket maker Marian Bowers & Martha Jones; gigante maker Isaac Duenas & David Duenas/Ramon Zepeda; old-time fiddler Willie Jones & Trenda Slaughter; African acrobatics Augustine and Felix Omdeben & Akila Baki/Moses Campbell; Sacred Steel guitarist Aubrey Ghent & Elton Noble; white oak basket maker Alfonso Jennings & Michael Steen; and pysanki artist Ola Kryway & Mary Martin. They also recommended pianist Alex McBride & Teddy Williams, but it was cow whip maker George Mills & J. Taylor Marcus who were ultimately funded. For more information on the meeting, S 1644, box 11, folder 20. The Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program began in 1983 with a NEA grant of $22,000. The program provided an opportunity for master folk artists to share technical skills and cultural knowledge with apprentices in order to keep the tradition alive. Apprentices must have had some experience in the tradition and agreed to train for at least six months. The first project director was Blanton Owen, later replaced by folklorist Peter Roller. The program was continued each year through 2004.

Recording of the Folk Arts Apprenticeship Review Committee of the Florida Folklife Council for 1992-1993
- Date
- 1992-09-26
- Description
- Five audio cassettes. The meeting was held to decide upon which master-apprentice applicants would receive funding for 1992-1993. Folklorist Stone submitted thirteen applications to the committee, which consisted of Chairetakis, Hansen, Monahan (non-voting member), and Waterman. Bureau chief Loomis also attended. After ranking each application, the committee recommended the following teams: cast net maker Max Dooley & Reginald Reis; leather carver Robert Dellis & Kitt Maynard; Greek bouzouki player Spiridon Skordilis & Antonis Kallis; Andean pan pipe player Aldolpho Rodriguez & Howard Sukay; and Nicaraguan pinata maker Chony Gutierrez & Rosa Marie Fuentes. However, it was decided at the 30 September Florida Folklife Council meeting that only two teams (Dooley/Reis and Dellis/Maynard) receive funding because of financial difficulties. The NEA did not fund the 1992-1993 program because it felt the selection process in previous years did not include enough folklorist input. This year, there was also a professional staff review meeting that was not recorded, held on 22 September 1992. A recording of the 30 September Council meeting can be found in S 1717, box 4; and a copy of the minutes in box 1. For more information on the review meeting, see S 1644, box 11, folder 2.

Public workshop on Florida Folk Festival policy (White Springs)
- Date
- 1982-11-21
- Description
- Two audio cassettes. Recording of a public meeting held at the Stephen Foster Center to discuss the new Florida Folk Festival policies. In April 1982, the Department of State (DOS) and its Florida Folklife Program (FFP) sent out notice that the policies were changing. The result was a highly charged meeting between the FFP, the Florida Folklife Council, and the many folk artists. (See C83-90 and C83-91 in S 1576, box 10.) That fall, once the policy was completed, the FFP and the DOS offered several public meetings across the state. Includes discussion of the policy as well as input from various attendees as to the future of the festival. In addition to White Springs, meetings were held in Miami and Tampa. FFP director David Closson, present at the two previous meetings, had resigned by this meeting. Loomis was acting director.

Public Forum on the 1982 Florida Folk Festival
- Date
- 1982-04-25
- Description
- Two audio cassettes. A meeting featuring council member Ronald Foreman; David Closson, the Director of the Florida Folklife Program; folklorist Peggy Bulger; a representative from the Florida Secretary of State's office; and former folk festival organizer Thelma Boltin. They met to hear public commentary on the changing direction of the Florida Folk Festival, including installation of a revolving schedule that would limit how many times a performer could perform from year to year. Committee members discussed the changes as a way to bring diversity and improved representation to the festival. Members of the public who made comments included Stetson Kennedy, who criticized the Festival's over-emphasis on white culture, Will McLean, and folk musicians and artists who were angered at not being invited to return to the festival that year. In addition, the discussion centered on problems over compensating participants equitably. Includes heated exchanges between the public and participants and the council members and folklorists.
