General:
CDR copy FW-ASCH-7RR-2805 is one of a series of at least six tapes of interviews of Kiowa Indians recorded by Harry Smith. Although some of his recordings of Kiowa Indians were used on the Folkways album, "The Kiowa Peyote Meeing" (FW04601), the current tape wasn't used and there is no mention of peyote in it. This tape, recorded on 4/3/1964, consists of two sessions - the first was recorded in "Tingley's Pawn Shop," and contains very informal conversation, plus one 49 song which sounds like a typical traditional Indian song. Harry Smith has provided neat handwritten notes which are included in the reference CD jewel case and tape box. The second session, recorded at "FloraBelle Harrington's" contains informal conversation, largely about tornadoes and religion, plus three short songs, two in English. The tape box says 4/1. There is no indication as to the precise location of the recording sessions other than the above; however, the sessions used on the Folkways recording were made in Anadarko, OK, so perhaps this tape was recorded there also.
