At The University of Texas Institute of Texan
Cultures we believe, like Shakespeare, that
"There is a history in all men's lives."
That always has been the theme of Texas
Folklife Festival.
The Festival demonstrates how the average
Texan has helped to write the history of this
great state. It is to them-.the patriarchs and
the matriarchs, the empressarios and the
settlers, the cow-punchers and the oil
field roughnecks, the heroes and villains of
Texas's past and present-that we dedicate
the Festival.
We Texans are products of a melting pot
The 30 plus racial, ethnic and cultural groups
that joined the native Indians in this land
molded a rich, vibrant state out of a
wilderness. They were strong in body and in
character, and in dedication to building a new
life in an alien place. They succeeded beyond
even their own dreams.
Today, their descendants have preserved the
foods, the entertainments, the dress, the
customs and the crafts of these early Texans.
Each year, during the four days of the Folklife
Festival, they present them for your enjoyment
and education.
Welcome to the Festival. It's an unforgettable
experience-because it is living proof that,
indeed, "there is a history in all men's lives."
Cordially,

Ab Abernethy plays in the East
Texas String Ensemble (prG­nounced
"insimble"), one of the -
country western bands performing
at the Festival. But one thing
distinguishes Ab from the rest of
the singers and pickers; he helped
start the Festival.
"O.T. Baker called me in 1968
to take a group of gospel singers
to Washington, D.C. for the Festi­val
of American Folklife," said
Ab. "On the way back, he and
Henderson Shuffler (then Execu­tive
Director of The Institute) and
I decided that we could put on
that good a show at The Institute.
Four years later in 1972, we
finally got it under way with O.T.
Baker as Festival Director."
They put it on in the backyard
of The Institute and called it the
Texas Folklife Festival. Some
3,000 volunteer participants came
to dance, cook, demonstrate their
crafts and make music. Over
60,000 visitors came to watch and
learn and, most of all, have fun.
The Festival was such a success
that it became an annual event
Popularity of the Festival has
increased every year. It has
attracted over 6,000 participants
and 100,000 visitors the past two
years. Now, nine years after its
conception, the Festival is as
much a tradition as the traditions
it tries to preserve.
Ab and the "Insimbles" have
performed at every Festival, as
have many of the other "charter
members." Indicative of the way
many participants feel about the
Festival, he said, "I just hope,
Lord's willing and the creek don't
rise, next year we'll be back."

TOT I
T lAS FOLILIFB FBSTIVAL
Welcome to this celebration of
Texas. It's the state's biggest
family reunion and everyone's
invited: from Alsatians to
Yugoslavs. There are 32 major
cultural and ethnic groups that
helped settle Texas, and at first,
these nationalities shared little
except the land. Now they share
many things including the
tradition of returning to The
Institute of Texan Cultures each
year to preserve the past and
share the present.
In only nine years, this
gathering of more than 6,000
participants from all sections of
the state has become one of the
largest celebrations of its kind.
Once a year, 100,000 visitors
come to San Antonio to learn,
enjoy and experience things
Texan. People from all over the
state, every state in the union
and more than 60 foreign coun­tries
have discovered that the
Texas stereotype, the long, lean
cowboy in a ten gallon hat, is not
quite complete.
For the visitor, the Festival
offers opportunities for singing,
dancing, eating and discovering. A
trip around the world, reduced to
a more manageable 15-acre plot
of land, is possible through the
food, dance, music, arts, crafts,
games and contests of other
cultures and other countries.
"Teachers" provide informal
classes in everything from an
ethnic folk dance to Italian lawn
bowling and Polish paper cutting.
Cooking tips from the state's
finest chefs are available even
though the down-home cooking
bears names like yakitori and
stifado. Folk artists are scattered
across the grounds, eagerly
showing all-thumbs visitors the
fine art of log shaving, chimney
making, pickling and quilting. Old­timers
rock under shade trees and
share stories of an earlier Texas.
Festival visitors will discover
the state's population isn't just
marked by its ethnic diversity.
Whether the pioneer was Anglo
or Danish, clothes were needed,
fields had to be tilled and plates
put on the table. A whole area,
the Back 40, is set aside to salute
the practitioners of the basics of
life. Visitors can learn how to
throw a pot or mold a ceramic
plate, discover how cotton is
carded and spun into thread, or
hear a farm hand coax work out
of a field mule.
It's fun to learn a Lebanese folk
dance or to try to play a dulcimer.
Everyone asks questions and most
participants have a vivid tale to
share. Some just sit down on the
cool grass in front of the stage
and sing along with traditional
blue grass musicians or learn the
words to an old Dutch folk song.
Whatever the visitor does, he'll
discover the wonderful diversity
of the state's population.
The Festival shares the
convictions of its sponsor, The
Institute of Texan Cultures, that
the people of our state are a
group of individuals who have in
common only the fact that they
tried to settle the same land area
and they succeeded. The result is
a sprawling, rich land that
provides a unique history lesson
and shows that cultural diversity
is enriching rather than divisive.
If all Texans respect and
~~N
o matter how different or divergent
our ancestry, we are all Texans. This is all
The Institute of Texan Cultures ever had to
say, and the Texas Folklife Festival seems
to be a good way to say it."
Henderson Shuffler,
Founding Director, The Institute of Texan Cultures
understand one another, Texas
will continue to grow and prosper.
''T l t, of course, is a
madness but what must be
remembered is that the
madness has a serious
purpose: To perpetuate, to
honor, to celebrate Texas'
ethnical melting pot cultures
and pioneer skills."
Jerry Flemmons,
Ft. Worth Star Telegram
Bill Brett is a tall, lean, blue­eyed,
natural-born storyteller with
a mischievous gleam in his eye
and a tall tale on his tongue. He is
as ready to pull a leg as spin a
rope. Although he is only one ex­ample
of a Festival craftsperson,
he is like many of the other
participants visitors can find at
the Festival-he is entertaining,
talented and very Texan. His
specialty is spinning ropes from
the hair of a horse's mane, a craft
brought to the New World by the
Spaniards and adopted by Anglo
cowboys. It survives as a living
skill because people like Brett
have preserved it by practicing it
and passing on their knowledge.
Without participants like Bill
Brett and the thousands of others
who come to San Antonio, there
wouldn't be a Festival. The people
who help The Institute staff with
the Festival volunteer their time
and traditions, and often travel
hundreds of miles to share an
experience that is totally Texan.
For these participants, the
Festival is as much their show as
The Institute's. They keep it
''rr
' 'I think the Festival
creates an understanding
and appreciation between
rural and urban folks.
Last year a lady wrote to
tell me what a good time
her child had at the
Festival and all he did
was jump in the hay. But
then, how often does a
city child get the chance
to see a haystack?"
Claudia Ball,
Festival Manager
running smoothly and on time.
They give the Festival its air of
friendship, festivity and
fellowship, and in return, they
receive the joy of forming close
attachments with fellow partici­pants
and sharing knowledge with
thousands of people. Claudia Ball,
the Festival manager, notes, "It's
old home week whenever any of
them get together."
But mostly, there is a fierce
pride for this Festival among
these people. They're proud they
help make it possible and their be­lief
in this state is unshakeable.
This love for the ideals of The
Institute comes through even to
the most casual of visitors. This
makes the Folklife Festival unique
and gives it its special feeling.
In the first tired days after the
close of a festival, the staff, along
with a specially selected volunteer
Steering Committee, evaluates the
event and starts planning for the
next year. Then the hunt begins.
Fairs are visited and fiddlers'
contests attended, in search of
new participants. By October,
applications have been sent out
~ he Japanese, Wends and Alsatians may evoke
unfamiliar feelings. They shouldn't. These people, along
with the descendants of some 30 other ethnic, national
and cultural groups, are part of the Texas experience.
So come and stay awhile. You'll have a great time while
discovering a Texas you'll never forget."
Jack R. Maguire,
Executive Director, The Institute of Texan Cultures
'' L' £ or me, the Festival
work is creative fun-you
feel a camaraderie. No
matter what happens, you
make it work, because
you have to, because you
believe in it. I see people
coming to our Festival,
having a good time . . .
and it is a time worth
having. People walk in
and say; 'well, this is
interesting.' And it is."
Dr. John Davis,
Head of Research, The
Institute of Texan Cultures
and most participants who will be
coming to the next year's
celebration have applied. The
selection committee sifts through
the applications and decides the
final roster.
Both before and during the
Festival, the examples of staff
participation are numerous.
Buildings and grounds personnel,
whose year-round function is the
maintenance of The Institute
complex, keep the electricity
working, assemble the kiosks,
hang the shade, prepare the
grounds and work round the clock
as trouble shooters to be sure
everything is running smoothly.
Graphics designers prepare
brochures while communications
personnel write news releases
and assemble press kits.
During the Festival itself, staff
members eagerly take on new
roles. Visitors, if they look, can
find researchers fixing the sound
systems on the stages and busi­ness
office personnel working
with librarians to keep the busi­ness
details working efficiently.
Then, if everything turns out as it
has for nine years past, the
biggest family reunion in Texas is
a success and people come away
with warm memories and a better
understanding of other cultures,
of Texas and of themselves.

Texas Folklife Festival if it
weren't for people like me."

WHY GAMBLE ON TOMORROW?
A great way of life.

Sure there are the Texans that
swagger down streets with ex­pensive
lizard-hide cowboy boots
and a clean Stetson. They drive
their big cars up to their oil wells,
and figure on spending lots of
money. But if you'll leave the
Houston expressways, bypass the
Dallas freeways and drive down
the country roads that connect the
windy plains of far West Texas
. '
James Ander, Seguin
with the dark, secret forests of
East Texas and Mexican-flavored,
South Texas, you'll see the other
Texans-craftpeople, storytellers,
traders and farmers. Far from
being an endangered species,
they're going strong and are
usually as bemused by their oil­rich
cousins as any New Yorker.
The Texas Folklife Festival
brings together these folk,
enabling them to take the spotlight
away from the Texas legend and
present the Texas reality.

"I have always been interested
in restoring antique furniture
although I work mostly with seat­weaving,
caning and rush
weaving. I guess I got started in
this because I've always felt that
we all like to live in the past when
we get old. Ask your children
what they want from your home.
They want the thing that reminds
them of their childhood. My
daughter wanted a little table and
two chairs that I bought for her
before she was born. With only
time I fixed them like new. She
would not sell them for anything.
"The main reason I am at the
Festival is because I would like to
interest people in restoring old
furniture and to show them that it
can be done cheaply. Only time is
what it takes a lot of.
"I can talk forever about old
Texas furniture and I'll help any­one
restore his family's keepsakes
if they are willing to take the
time. I would also like to develop
a list of people that can do things
and will show one another their
craft. I was restoring an old organ
and had a hard time finding a
man that would help me with it
and tell me where I could get the
parts. I am willing to work and
learn from anyone."
James J. Ander
"There was an old man come to
the Neches River where I live. I
don't know where he came from.
His name was Robinson. And he
come in there and camped on the
river. And he showed he how to
tie a net. And then after he
showed me how he tied 'em, well,
I went to experimentin' a little bit
and I think I done a little better.
Anyhow, I started out about when
I was 15 and I been a tyin' them
ever since.
"To catch your fish, you set the
net any time of the day, and you
can leave it there a week without
raisin' it if you want to. It don't
matter how often you raise it.
Generally, I wouldn't raise one in
Charlie Havard, Huntington
under four or five days. Leave it
there long enough to catch
something. And now when the
river's on a quick fast rise-get
that thing on a sandy bank, close
to the bank, and you'll catch some
fish. Them fish, when that river
gets muddy, it's clearer on the
edge than it is out in the middle,
an' them fish'll come to the bank.
They'll swim right up side the
river bank.
Continued on page 35
Continued from page 34
"I've tried to teach some people
how to tie nets but they still don't
know how to start one nor how to
tie it together. I have to start it
and I've got to tie it together. They
can't start nor they can't quit.
And it ain't no trouble to start.
And it ain't no trouble to tie 'em
together. But they just can't get it
in their heads how to do it."
Arnold Griffin, Devine
Seems most of Arnold Griffin's
life is spent around wood. He's in
charge of the building of the log
cabin and log kitchen in The
Institute's Back 40 during the
Festival; he's split many of the
shingles that are on the roof and
he helps make the two-by-four
fiddles that he and Bruce Roark
play when they're relaxing under
the cabin's shelter, singing with
the Devine Music Makers.
His skill was taught him by his
family. "My grandaddy was a
wheelwright, a rancher and what­ever
else a Texan had to be in
those days. He used his tools. A
Texan made do with what he had
where he was at the time he did
it. I'm still like that; that's how we
do."
When Griffin is helping with
the building, telling about the
different uses of his collection of
tools or supervising a group of
youngsters who are learning how
to chop wood, he plays songs like
"When You and I were Young,"
Grande." "Yea, I play fiddle on
that log cabin porch every year,
tell the people lies and feed them
some candy." Their instruments,
although made from scraps of
wood, are special. "They have to
have a definite twiddle twang to
them before we'll have anything
to do with them."
The "lies" are a mixture of
humor and folk tale with a leg
pull here and there. "Billy the Kid
taught me how to shoot a six­shooter,"
he' ll announce. Then
he'll reluctantly add that "the
Kid" taught his father and his
father taught him.
One of his favorite figures is
" Big Foot" Wallace, a notorious
Indian fighter and Texas ranger.
"Big Foot came to Texas in the
early days and didn't die until
1902-03. He didn't have any
women worrying him, so he lived
a long time." Or, "Big Foot didn't
get married because he couldn't
even get along with himself half
the time."
Wallace got the "Big Foot"
attached to his name, says Griffin,
because back when Austin was a
young city, Indians would raid the
stores. Wallace trailed one group
one time-the Indians split, one
had a big foot, the other a little
"Maggie," and "El Rancho Cowboy Williams, Navasota and San Leon
one. Wallace trailed that
bigfooted Indian and killed him.
"That's how he got his name."
Arnold Griffin
" I learned to do thatching at
home on the ranch. My father, my
uncles, my grandfather, all did it;
it was a trade in the family.And
I'm teaching my son the craft,
and he seems to be learning it
pretty good.
Juan Martinez, Laredo
"To thatch a roof, you have to
have grass. You can use several
kinds; it all depends on the area
where you happen to be doing the
work. I get all my materials from
the woods.
"I make my rafters with willow
branches because they are very
durable and very light. Then I cut
my grass. One thing I do after
cutting it, I tie it into little bundles
so it will be easier to handle. I
start tying my bundles of grass at
the bottom of the rafters and
build to the sky. Once I get to the
top of the roof and both sides are
finished, I interlock both sides one
at a time and cross them over to
the other side and tie them down
to prevent rain from coming in at
the peak of the roof.
"Mother Nature helps the
grass. When it is placed, the wind
blows on it and it accumulates
dirt, dust and what have you.
When the first rain comes up, it
has a tendency to seal this. The
roof will last ten years or longer.

"I am the oldest active
commercial leopard dog man in
the country today. I got started
because jobs were scarce after
the second war; I wound up in
South Texas because they needed
cowboys there. When I got here I
saw right away that we'd need '
dogs to help round up the stray
cattle, so I headed back home for
my leopard dogs. I come from a
long line of dog people; it's been
bred into me from both sides of
my family. So I got to hauling dogs
down from East Texas to South
Texas and started raising and
training them. I worked all the
larger places in South Texas, then
expanded and went west and to
the Palo Duro Canyon. I've been in
the business ever since.
"I like a big horse so I can rope
a steer and be protected. In other
words, you can't rope a brahma
bull with a shetland pony because
you're going to have a wreck. I
been hurt several times, and those
wounds are talking to me now.
One time I was after 17 head of
cattle that had been in the woods
for several years. I was riding a
big dun horse. A rattlesnake
Pete Payne, Marshall

jumped out at him, and he jumped
under the limb of a tree and
busted my front teeth loose. I
didn't go to the dentist or stop-I
had to have that money. So I just
rinsed my mouth out with
kerosene, went after those cattle
and got my teeth pulled later."
Cowboy Williams
"The potter's art as practiced
in East Texas was a very
important industry in the years
between 1850-1920. It furnished
the settlers many items they
needed for every day living.
Without these items, living and
expanding in this area would have
been not only more difficult but
much slower. Since the making of
pottery contributed so much
toward East Texas development
the Marshall Potters feel it sho~ld
be included as a contributing
industry in the history of Texas.
"The pots we throw have their
origins in the pots thrown
thousands of years ago. Our
. '. .
Mattie Duckens Browne, Temple
potter~ have been throwing pots,
as the1r mentors did before them
for 85 years. We learn to do the'
hand-turned pottery by working as
an apprentice in Marshall Pottery
and working up to a master
potter. I've been there 40 years.
"Our products are made of the
clay found in this area. The
availability of clay spawned
numerous potteries in the Gilmer­Kilgore-
Marshall-Henderson area.
Of the 15 or 20 potteries that
could be found in the region, only
the Marshall pottery is still
operating today."
Pete Payne
"We have been singing all of
o~r lives. Mot~er and Daddy sang
with us from buth, so singing is
our whole life.
"I remember when we were
younger, we'd try to get out of
going to church so we wouldn't
have to sing. Sometimes we'd
sneak out to get away from it. But
now, all of us love to sing the
praises of God.
"There's twelve children in the
family and we all sing. I'm the
director of REACH in Temple; Ms.
Clayborne Duckens is a senior
investigator in Houston; Joyce is a
clerk in the Republic National
Bank of Dallas and Elenor is an
Industrial Specialist with the
Department of Defense in Dallas.
"We called Silvia 'Choo Choo'
for a while because she was the
first lady engineer for the Santa
Fe Railroad in Temple, but she
doesn't do that anymore. Eddy is
the owner of a men's clothing
store in Temple; Dorceal is a
student at Prairie View A&M
University; Roy is a line man for
General Motors, and Johnny, the
baby, is the pianist. Carmen
Balthrop Duckens sings with the
New York Metropolitan Opera
Company. And of course Mamma
and Daddy sing with us too."

Country-and-western music is
almost respectable now. The past
three presidents have invited
country-and-western performers
in through the front door of the
White House to perform for them.
Carnegie and other prestigious
halls have invited them to play on
their well-varnished stages. And
several varieties of country-and­western
performers hold dominion
over their own Stage 2 at the
Texas Folklife Festival.
Country-and-western music
traveled many a dusty mile before
it achieved such universal
acceptance. It began in the Old
World several hundred years ago
with the sad old ballads of
violence and cheatin' hearts sung
by the Anglo-Scots-Irish ancestors
of many modern Americans. The
songs and melodies underwent
gradual changes as they made
their ways to the New World and
then on to Texas through the
mountains of the Southern
Uplands and the rich woodlands
of the Deep South. The wandering
settlers and their songs met the
music of Blacks, Cajuns, and
Germans along the way. They
attended camp meetings and
religious revivals and soaked up
the music and the morality of
Southern Calvinism. They tried
out guitars, banjos, dulcimers,
mandolins, fiddles, and autoharps.
They listened to nineteenth
century songs of sentimentalism
from Tin Pan Alley and to songs
from vaudeville and black-face
minstrels, and this pop music
became as much a part of their
traditions as their religious music
and the old ballads. And all of
these songs and styles were
mixing into a new kind of country
sound and moving into the
twentieth century.
Country and western was still

just country music in the early
1900's, but by the 1920's with the
beginnings of mass produced
music on records and radio,
country music was established as
a legitimate form of musical
experience, even if it was not
acceptable in the finer drawing
rooms. The new country
commercial musicians of the
'twenties and early 'thirties, like
Gid Tanner and his Skillet Likkers
and Vernon Dalhart, had one foot
in the old traditional country
sounds and the other pointed to
the future where they might enjoy
commercial success by mixing
with the new pop sounds growing
out of ragtime and jazz.
The first innovator to achieve
stardom in the record-radio
medium was Jimmie Rodgers, who
blended black blues, a yodel, and
some jazz with a large measure of
hillbilly and became the Father of
Country Music. In the mid-'thirties
Gene Autry became the first
influential country singer to put
the cowboy western touch on top

of the country sound. About the
same time Bob Wills and His
Texas Playboys were mixing
country with western and with
modern swing and coming out
with western swing. And all the
_ while Roy Acuff and his Smokey
Mountain Boys were keeping the
old Angla-Saxon mountain songs
and ballads circulating from the
Grand Old Opry.

took hillbilly-country-cowboy­ht;
mky tonk music out of Texas
and the Southwest and spread it
throughout the States and the
world. Hanky tonk singer Ernest
Tubb spanned the war years, but
the main bridge between the old
pre-war hillbilly music and the
new electrified sound that was to
become country and western was
Hank Williams, the superstar of
the early 'fifties. Hank's "Cold,
Cold Heart" and "Jambalaya,"
among many other songs, also
closed the gap between country

and pop music as Tony Bennett,
Bing Crosby, and other pop
singers began to include hanky
tonk music in their repertoires.
Since the 1950's the music that
was to become country and
western has put on some strange
clothes in order to keep company
with all the new musical styles of
the last three decades. Elvis
Presley, inspired by Hank
Williams, began singing hillbilly
but moved into a blues influenced
rock style that eventually
spawned "rockabilly." Rockabilly,
country-pop, redneck rock, and
the Austin sound were all part of
the continuing evolution of a
country sound that was hundreds
of years old. The popularity of the
new country sounds brought
international fame to Johnny Cash,
Chet Atkins, Willie Nelson, and
many others; and the music they
played, as different as the styles
were, within the past decade or
so was lumped together and
called country and western.
Sometimes a listener is hard
put to recognize the old country
sound and style in modern coun­try-
and-western music, even on
Stage 2, but it is usually there.
Hanky tonk angels, hard times,
careless love, the basic earthy
scrapes people get themselves
into: these are the same topics
sung about in the folk ballads gen­erations
ago. Amplification has
not changed that. And the styles
and songs of Jimmie Rodgers, Roy
Acuff, and Hank Williams are still
the fundamental ingredients for
any country-and-western band.
But it all comes together with the
strains of a fiddle and the guitar's
rhythm as the band breaks into
"Wild Side of Life."
That's classic.

The Texas Folklife Festival is only a
part of the overall educational pro­gram
of The University of Texas
Institute of Texan Cultures at San
Antonio.
The Institute is many things.
Most visibly, it is a magnificent
exhibit floor that tells the story of
Texas through the lives of her
people. In an area roughly the size
of a football field. the Texas experi­ence
is presented with dramatic
lighting, sound effects and multi­media
shows. Divided into ethnic
exhibit areas. The Institute uses
artifacts, old photographs. art and
text to describe the contributions
made by each group. These arti­t.
acts and exhibits. many of which
are constantly changing, reflect
new field research and the driving
desire to show all aspects of ethnic
pioneer life in the state.
The exhibit floor also sets the
stage for demonstrations of tradi­tional
crafts and skills and per­formances
of folk music and art by
professional interpreters.
The Institute's professional staff
is supplemented by hundreds of
volunteers who do everything from
answering telephones to producing
holiday skits for visitors. Training
sessions for volunteers are held
each September and January.
These people, from all walks of life.
help spread The Institute's
message by leading tours and
taking traveling shows to civic
groups. study clubs. schools and
homes.
preparing students for field trips to
The Institute.
They also help present Special
Sundays and Craft Heritage Work­shops.
Special Sundays are free
afternoons of entertainment, food
and fellowship focusing on the con­tributions
of individual ethnic
groups. Craft workshops are held
throughout the year and teach such
folk arts as kite making, weaving
and Indian crafts.
Other special programs include
an innovative film series featuring
a new title each month. The films
focus on the arts. cultural groups
and other topics. Informal concerts
and plays also are a favorite
feature with the fare running from
classical guitar, madrigal singers
and brass bands to productions
staged by high school students.
Two special galleries in The
Institute feature constantly
changing exhibits that can range
from Mexican toys to Texas eccen­trics
to depression-era photo­graphs.
But there's more to The Institute
than its exhibit floor . A learning
and communication center for the
interpretation of Texas history,
culture and folklore, The Institute
also produces publications and
books, filmstrips, slide shows,
videotaped productions, traveling
shows and special exhibits in its
quest to tell the state about its
history. It houses a library, a re­search
staff. a production depart­ment,
even cabinet makers who
build the exhibit cases you see.
No matter how many times
you've visited The Institute, there
is always something new to see or
do. So start planning your next trip
now. It's the perfect place to bring
out-of-state visitors or just to spend
the day with family or friends.
