Alan Senauke Collection
- Description
- This collection of tapes was donated, and for the most part recorded by the musician and documentarian, Alan Senauke. The cassettes themselves are wide ranging and reflect Senauke’s position in traditional music as both a player and a listener. The collection features raw recordings of Senauke's visits to master old-time and cajun musicians and unedited on-stage performances and radio shows— all alongside many of Senauke’s own musical projects. Though they have little in common in their contents, together the tapes are an example of a bygone era in which the music one created and was influenced by was tangible and stored together in the same format and in this case, the same box.
