Glassies long professionaI Iife encompasses the people and foIklore of his native southern states; from the subIime vocal purity of Ola BelIe Reed whom he befriended and recorded in the sixties, to the potters, scuIptors, metaI workers, gilders and painters of sacred art in Brazil, the ceramic masters and the women rug makers and weavers of Turkey, the story teIIers and singers of BaIlymenone on the Northern lrish border. |
