Biographical / Historical:
Born Peyton Cole Hedgeman, in Widewater, Virginia in 1890, Palmer Hayden received his first art instruction through correspondence courses, then studied in 1925 with Asa Grant Randall at the Boothbay Art Colony, in Maine, specializing in marine subjects. In 1927, Hayden's seascape, Schooners, won first prize for "Distinguished Achievement in Fine Arts" in the Harmon Foundation's first awards ceremony. With that award, and an additional grant from a patron, Hayden was able to continue his studies in Paris, where he further developed his skills in seascapes and ethnic subject matter. Hayden was among the first African-American artists to use African-American subjects and designs in his painting.

Hayden returned to the United States in 1932 and worked steadily over the next several years for the United States government, including the Treasury Relief Art Project and the Works Progress Administration. In 1944 Hayden began work on his noted Ballad of John Henry series of twelve paintings that would occupy him for a decade. In his later work, Hayden continued to focus on African-American themes, capturing both rural gatherings in the South and the urban milieu of New York.

Palmer Hayden died in 1973.

Poor quality, lots of drop outs

This tape were recorded on Nov. 7, 1953, at a square dance in Springfield, Missouri. The performers include callers, fiddler, banjo player, bass player, and, on one track only, a pianist. Most tracks are square dances with calling; at least one track is exhibition dancing without calls, and another is tap dancing with piano accompaniment. None of the personnel are identified. The tapes are poorly recorded, and perhaps have deteriorated over time; the 2nd half of -2619 contains ripples, which are probably the source of the sound volume fluctuations. The back of the -2619 tape box states that the first and last tracks feature the Missouri Champ as caller; the penultimate track caller on that tape is "local." One square dance track on -2619, without calling, features, "Exhibition Dancing." The back of the tape box of -2619 has a number "3," and -2620 has a number "2," so presumably -2620 was recorded prior to -2619. See other sheets for list of tracks and durations.
