- General Note:
- This session features performances of music and singing that accompanies a reel -- a dance performance tradition derived from Scotland and used as a means for ancestral veneration and contact. Many of the recordings feature one of several possible instrumental configurations for this genre as well as several solo, a cappella performances. The leader R0idley Davis is probably the singer in all the performances. Also included in this session are two stories narrated by Joseph Daniel (see tape 1071, track 3; and tape 1072, tracks 1 and 2).
- General Note:
- Alan Lomax: "The recording of the tunes listed above was made at The Mission, Toco between 8 p.m. and 12 midnight. There is a close resemblance between the songs recorded and the Tobago reel-dance tunes recorded by Andrew Pearse in that island in 1951."
- General Note:
- Interview and solo reel performance featuring Ridley Davis (leader). Topic of discussion is the history of the reel tradition. Alan Lomax is the interviewer.
- General Note:
- vocal
