Transcription Notes
Hired a motor and went out to Brown’s Cove. Spent a long day there hunting up people and got songs from Mr Walter (who sang on horseback) and Mrs Keeton. Walked a long way to Mrs Keeton’s and still longer to a Mr McAlister a reputed singer but failed to find him. Got home at 7 p.m. pretty tired & had to pay 12 dollars for the motor. Brown’s Cove offers great possibilities but one would have to live near there (at Mrs Bibb’s?) to work it properly. Came home with 8 songs including versions of Two Sisters, & Two Brothers.Location
