Description

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.
