Tim TappHOST
So I've certainly shown that I've surpassed the minimum requirements to prove human authorship.

Tim TappHOST
I'm still just kind of stoked about that.
Tim TappHOST
It's one thing to know that you did everything you're supposed to do.
Tim TappHOST
It's another thing entirely to have that piece of paper formalized, knowing that your name is now listed in the Library of Congress as the copyright holder, ladies and gentlemen.
Tim TappHOST
Remember, when the world tries to put up artificial barriers between the things you have to do and the things you want to do, then it's time to tear down walls.

Stephen WinickGUEST
But there's a great recording where she brought, she used to do in the late 1940s, an illustrated lecture on ballads, which she would adapt to whichever singers she could get to come with her.
Stephen WinickGUEST
So she would actually take singers on the road with her and go and give an illustrated lecture on ballads, and she'd typically have three singers, and they would each sing a few ballads, and she would, you know, adapt her remarks to fit the ballads that those particular singers sang.
Stephen WinickGUEST
And she brought Charles Finnamore with her on many of these trips, including one to the Library of Congress in 1948.
Stephen WinickGUEST
So we have in the Library of Congress of 1948, Charles Spinnemore singing this on the stage of the Coolidge Auditorium, which is our main venue for concerts and things at the library.

The idea was that at a time when we're all feeling isolated, lonely, and we're told over and over again that we're so divided, Americans might want a chance to connect with someone in a different part of the country and learn something about their lives.
Michael GarofaloHOST
So we built this online recording platform and matched strangers for virtual interviews that were then archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
Michael GarofaloHOST
We put the call out to you, our listeners, to help create this time capsule of who we are as Americans today.
Michael GarofaloHOST
And boy, did you respond.
