General:
Texts (4 p.) inserted. Performer(s): Sung by children ranging in age from 6 to 11, directed and accompanied by Pete Seeger and Erik Darling, with the Song Swappers.
The enthusiasm and informality of summer camp songs are here captured by a group of six to eleven year-old children whose performance is directed by iconic folksinger Pete Seeger (1919-2014), who also arranged the songs. Pete's banjo further enlivens the proceedings, while enhancing the musicality of the singing by the enthusiastic but untrained youngsters. In addition, folksinger/banjoist Erik Darling (1933 - 2008), perhaps best known for his recording (as leader of the Rooftop Singers) of the number one singles hit, "Walk Right In," in 1963, performs five camp songs as solo numbers. The liner notes consist of the lyrics of the songs, enabling the listener to join in the fun.

An interview with Walter Feldman conducted 1998 Aug. 10, by Robert Brown, for the the Archives of American Art, in Feldman's home, Providence, R.I.
Feldman discusses attending classes as a youth, 1939-1942, at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; attending Yale's School of Fine Arts, 1942; service in combat infantry in the U.S. Army, Europe, 1943-1946; completing his BFA at Yale, 1946-1950 and MFA, 1951; working as an instructor in painting at Yale until his appointment at Brown University (1953; professor 1961) where he continues to teach; exhibitions and commissions; working in painting, printmaking, mosaics, and in fine book making.
He discusses working as the sole studio art teacher at Brown University until mid-1960s; hiring of additional artist-teachers and the subsequent split of the art department between studio art and art history; bringing book arts to Brown with his establishment of the Brown/Ziggurat Press, which he directs and which mostly publishes poetry; the many visiting arists at Brown; frequent commissions which have kept him young in spirit; and working in widely divergent media: medals, mosaics, and a huge mural commission in 1976; discussion of leading examples of his handmade books, including James Schevill's poetry, "Lager Lieder" (1991), a book of concentration camp songs, and Michael Harper's "Family Sequences" (1998); broadsides he's designed, sculptural "reliqueries" to memorialize the Jewish Holocaust; the current prospering of his artists books; and his success as a teacher.
Biographical / Historical:
Walter Feldman (1925-2017) was an artist and art educator of Providence, R.I. Established Ziggurat Press in 1984 and, as teaching adjunct at Brown University, the Brown/Ziggurat Press in 1990.
Provenance:
This interview is part of the Archives of American Art Oral History Program, started in 1958 to document the history of the visual arts in the United States, primarily through interviews with artists, historians, dealers, critics and administrators.
