解説
We stopped, and we heard the biggest racket you ever heard up in the house.
"What's the matter, son?"
"Why, Maw and Paw are up there fightin'."
"Who is your Paw, son?"
"Well, that's what they are fightin' over."
Brimming with ballads, stories, riddles, tall tales, and great good humor, My Curious and Jocular Heroes pays homage to four people who guided and inspired Loyal Jones's own study of Appalachian culture. His sharp-eyed portraits introduce a new generation to Bascom Lunsford, the pioneer behind the "memory collections" of song and story at Columbia University and the Library of Congress; the Sorbonne-educated collector and performer Josiah H. Combs; Cratis D. Williams, the legendary father of Appalachian studies; and the folklorist and master storyteller Leonard W. Roberts. Throughout, Jones highlights the tales, songs, jokes, and other collected nuggets that define the breadth of each man's research and repertoire.
