The Orphan Train Crankie 04/12/2019

Delia Robinson's latest Crankie, in illustration and performance of "Orphan Train", a modern ballad by Utah Phillips, tells the story of a rider on one of these journeys. The Orphan Trains were a 76-year social experiment (1853-1929) in which homeless and vagrant children were taken off the streets and shipped West to be given to any stranger who wanted one. Delia is accompanied by Mark Greenberg at the T.W. Wood Gallery in Montpelier on April 12, 2019.

The artist (Delia Robinson) appears at Goddard College, shares a slideshow presentation of her research on Crankies and the origins and general background of the long-forgotten 400 year old English Nattamun Town song, and then sings this quite surreal ballad that re-emerged in 20th C. Appalachian Folk Music. The Nattamun Town lyrics are illustrated by the exquisite artwork of her Crankie.
