Transcription Notes
Feeling rather tired and rather the worse for wear and tear. We got through the school as usual. I taught the Winster Reel in the afternoon session from 4-4.30 in the time we had devoted to Bacca Pipes the other days of the week. I gave a longish chat about folk-music and the genesis of folk art generally. I have not talked over much this year for the students have been so few. The only interesting pupils we have had are Miss Rutherford who is going to Evanston under Miss Lambkin and her friend Miss Whitworth who is going to a high school in Louisburgh. They were to dine with us tomorrow but we have put them off till Monday. Maud and I dined at Peg Woffington’s and then went to Columbia University Grounds where we listened to the wind band and heard Grainger play 2 concerti and the Gumsucker’s March as an encore.1 He is an amazing man in many way. I liked his Gumsucker March for its exuberant vitality. Met Mrs Steinberg there and arranged to try & meet her before we go to Boston.Location
