Quotations about Barn Dance Bands.      

Quotations about barn dance bands and their instruments crop up throughout literature. Here are some quotations:-

Folksongs must be dressed to be taken from the fields to the city. In urban attire, however, they are awkward and uncomfortable. Their apparel must be cut in a fashion that will not hinder their breathing. Whether for chorus or for piano, the accompaniment should always be of such a nature as to make up for the lost fields and village. ~ Zoltãn Kodãlv
